TCF Financial Corporation  |  2013 Annual Report

Opportunity is rising at TCF.   

In 2012, TCF built a better way of banking by making several key 

investments in its business. In 2013, TCF successfully executed on 

these initiatives and began to see a positive impact company-wide. 

As a mid-size regional bank in today’s environment, TCF believes it 

is now positioned in the “sweet spot” of banking and is primed to 

continue its growth story and deliver results in 2014 and beyond.

Throughout my career, the largest 

banks have always operated with a 

competitive advantage over mid-size 

capital and liquidity requirements  

due to economies of scale as well  

as lower borrowing costs. With new 

regulations, this is changing. The 

largest banks now have increased 

capital and liquidity requirements and 

additional regulatory costs. The “too 

big to fail” era for the largest banks 

appears to be over. We believe the  

$10 billion to $50 billion asset size for 

banks, in which TCF is positioned, has 

become the “sweet spot” of banking.

In addition to these successes, I am 

equally proud of TCF’s continued 

investments and contributions made 

within the communities we serve.  

Our focus on social responsibility

A key focus for TCF over the past 

several years has been resolving the

with the Office of the Comptroller of

Since signing the consent order, TCF 

has made significant enhancements 

to its BSA compliance program,

TCF remains solidly capitalized with 

ample liquidity to grow the business. 

At December 31, 2013, TCF had  

$1.8 billion of Tier 1 capital, or  

11.41 percent of total risk-weighted 

assets. Tangible realized common 

equity to tangible assets increased  

to 8.18 percent.

TCF paid dividends totaling $.20 per 

share in 2013 and has now paid a 

dividend in 102 consecutive quarters. 

When capital accumulation from 

earnings exceeds capital required  

for asset growth and risk parameters 

permit, TCF hopes to increase the 

dividend. Returning capital to 

stockholders continues to be a core 

function of how we deliver 

stockholder value.

demonstrates strong diversification

Prior to the increased competition for 

loans and leases within our branch

environments or take on additional

Funding
TCF’s Funding segment provides 

diverse funding sources to support the 

growth of our Lending businesses. The  

Funding segment utilizes a “switches 

and dials” approach which gives us 

the ability to generate deposits in a 

specific product or market through 

targeted rates or marketing initiatives. 

This provides greater flexibility in 

generating appropriate funding.

TCF’s primary funding source is its 

large low-cost deposit base. Deposit 

balances totaled $14.4 billion at 

December 31, 2013, up 2.7 percent 

from 2012, with an average cost of  

26 basis points, down 5 basis points 

from last year. TCF made several key 

investments in the deposit side of the 

bank in 2012 including a $778 million 

deposit acquisition and the return to 

free checking. These have both proved 

to be beneficial in 2013 as we have a 

more diverse deposit base and have 

seen 5.9 percent checking account 

growth since the return to free 

checking. Also in 2013, TCF placed an 

emphasis on improving the customer 

experience through the introduction 

and upgrades of mobile apps, 

upgrades to web account openings 

and online banking, and improved 

online bill pay. While we will continue 

to make enhancements to the 

customer experience, we are now in 

position to begin introducing new 

products and services that fit the 

wants and needs of our customers. 

borrowing capacity at the Federal 

Reserve. In 2012, TCF issued preferred 

stock and subordinated debt which it 

is using to support asset growth. In 

addition, we are actively reviewing 

alternative funding sources such as 

auto loan securitization.

TCF’s Funding and Lending segments 

work in close partnership to ensure 

appropriate funding is generated in  

a timely manner to meet TCF’s asset 

growth needs. While TCF continues  

to enhance and diversify its funding 

capabilities, we have the structure, 

processes and flexibility to meet our 

organizational goals.

Revenue
TCF invested in several revenue 

diversification initiatives in 2012  

and saw the results in 2013. Total 

revenue in 2013 was $1.2 billion, 

down 5 percent from 2012. Excluding 

the gain on securities from the 

balance sheet repositioning in 2012, 

total revenue would have increased 

1.1 percent in 2013. As regulatory 

changes such as Regulation E and  

the Durbin Amendment impacted 

banking revenue, TCF took action  

by repositioning its balance sheet 

and generating revenue through  

core loan sales. The balance sheet 

repositioning has resulted in TCF 

having one of the highest net  

interest margins in the industry.  

TCF’s net interest margin in 2013  

was 4.68 percent, up from 4.65 

percent in 2012, overcoming the

$51.4 million in 2013. This was a 

revenue source TCF did not have  

two years ago. 

Banking fees and service charges 

totaled $241.2 million in 2013, a 

decrease of 5.3 percent year-over-year. 

The decline was primarily due to a 

change in customer behavior in which 

transaction volumes have decreased 

and average balances have increased. 

This has been partially offset by an 

increase in checking accounts due to 

decreased attrition as a result of the

Expenses
TCF’s total non-interest expense

38 percent from 2012. Excluding the

Keys to Future Success
The building and investing in 2012 

and the execution in 2013 have 

positioned us well for the future, but 

there is more hard work that needs to 

be done to achieve our goals. Our 

primary goal as we head into 2014

return on average assets in 2013 was

• Continued improvements in credit 

quality. 2013 was a good year for 

TCF in terms of improving credit 

quality. Now we need to ensure that 

we are able to continue the trends 

we have seen into 2014. We believe 

that economic improvement, such  

as increases in home values, as well 

as growth in our strong credit quality

conservative underwriting philosophy 

will help us achieve this goal.

Part I
Item  1. Business
General

TCF Financial Corporation (‘‘TCF’’ or the ‘‘Company’’), a Delaware corporation incorporated on April 28, 1987, is a national bank
holding  company  based  in  Wayzata,  Minnesota.  Its  principal  subsidiary  is  TCF  National  Bank  (‘‘TCF  Bank’’),  which  is
headquartered  in  Sioux  Falls,  South  Dakota.  TCF  Bank  operates  bank  branches  in  Minnesota,  Illinois,  Michigan,  Colorado,
Wisconsin, Indiana, Arizona and South Dakota (TCF’s primary banking markets). TCF delivers retail banking products in over
40 states and commercial banking products mainly in TCF’s primary banking markets. TCF also conducts commercial leasing and
equipment finance business in all 50 states and, to a limited extent, in foreign countries, commercial inventory finance in the U.S.
and Canada and, to a limited extent, in other foreign countries and indirect auto finance business in 45 states. TCF generated total
revenue, defined as net interest income plus total non-interest income, of $1.2 billion, $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion in the U.S.
during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. International revenue was $25.3 million, $21.3 million and $10.4 million during 2013,
2012, and 2011, respectively.

At December 31, 2013, TCF had total assets of $18.4 billion and was the 41st largest publicly traded bank holding company in the
United States based on total assets at September 30, 2013. References herein to the ‘‘Holding Company’’ or ‘‘TCF Financial’’
refer to TCF Financial Corporation on an unconsolidated basis.

TCF  provides  convenient  financial  services  through  multiple  channels  in  its  primary  banking  markets.  TCF  has  developed
products and services designed to meet specific needs of the largest consumer segments in the market. The Company focuses
on attracting and retaining customers through service and convenience, including branches that are open seven days a week and
on most holidays, extensive full-service supermarket branches, automated teller machine (‘‘ATM’’) networks, internet, mobile
and telephone banking. TCF’s philosophy is to generate interest income, fees and other revenue growth through business lines
that emphasize higher yielding assets and low interest-cost deposits. TCF’s growth strategies have included organic growth in
existing businesses, development of new products and services, and new branch expansion and acquisitions. New products and
services are designed to build on existing businesses and expand into complementary products and services through strategic
initiatives. TCF continues to focus on asset growth in its leasing and equipment finance, inventory finance and auto finance
businesses and on making these businesses a more substantial part of its loan and lease portfolio.

TCF’s  reportable  segments  are  comprised  of  Lending,  Funding  and  Support  Services.  Lending  includes  retail  lending,
commercial banking, leasing and equipment finance, inventory finance and auto finance. Funding includes branch banking and
treasury services, which includes the Company’s investment and borrowing portfolios and management of capital, debt and
market risks, including interest rate and liquidity risks. Support Services includes holding company and corporate functions that
provide  data  processing,  bank  operations  and  other  professional  services  to  the  operating  segments.  See  ‘‘Item  7.
Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations  (‘‘Management’s  Discussion  and
Analysis’’) – Results of Operations – Reportable Segment Results’’ and Note 23 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for information regarding revenue, income and assets for each of TCF’s reportable segments.

Lending

TCF’s lending strategy is to originate diversified portfolios of high credit quality, primarily secured, loans and leases.

Retail  Lending TCF  makes  consumer  loans  for  personal,  family  or  household  purposes,  such  as  home  purchases,  debt
consolidation, financing of home improvements, autos and education. TCF’s retail lending origination activity primarily consists of
consumer real estate secured lending. It also includes originating loans secured by personal property and, to a limited extent,
unsecured personal loans. Consumer loans are made on a fixed-term basis or a revolving line of credit. TCF does not have any
consumer  real  estate  subprime  lending  programs  nor  did  it  ever  originate  or  purchase  from  brokers,  2⁄28  adjustable-rate
mortgages  (‘‘ARM’’)  or  option  ARM  loans.  Beginning  in  2012,  TCF  expanded  its  junior  lien  lending  business  through  the
development of a national lending platform focused on junior lien loans to high credit quality customers.

Commercial Real Estate and Business Lending Commercial real estate loans are loans originated by TCF that are secured by
commercial real estate, including retail services, multi-family housing, office buildings and, to a lesser extent, commercial real
estate construction loans, mainly to borrowers based in its primary banking markets.

Commercial business loans are loans originated by TCF that are generally secured by various types of business assets including
inventory, receivables, equipment or financial instruments. In limited cases, loans may be originated on an unsecured basis.
Commercial  business  loans  are  used  for  a  variety  of  purposes,  including  working  capital  and  financing  the  purchase  of

2

equipment. In 2012, TCF developed a capital funding business specializing in secured, asset-backed and cash flow lending to
smaller middle-market companies in the United States. Approximately 88% of TCF’s commercial business loans outstanding at
December 31, 2013, were to borrowers based in its primary banking markets.

Leasing  and  Equipment  Finance TCF  provides  a  broad  range  of  comprehensive  lease  and  equipment  finance  products
addressing the diverse financing needs of small to large companies in a growing number of select market segments including
specialty vehicle, manufacturing, medical, construction, and technology. TCF’s leasing and equipment finance businesses, TCF
Equipment Finance, Inc. (‘‘TCF Equipment Finance’’) and Winthrop Resources Corporation (‘‘Winthrop’’), finance equipment in all
50 states and, to a limited extent, in foreign countries. TCF Equipment Finance delivers equipment finance solutions primarily to
small and mid-size companies in various industries with significant diversity in the types of underlying equipment. Winthrop
focuses on providing customized lease financing to meet the special needs of mid-size and large companies and health care
facilities  that  procure  high-tech  business  essential  equipment  such  as  computers,  servers,  telecommunication  and  other
technology equipment.

Inventory Finance TCF Inventory Finance, Inc. (‘‘TCF Inventory Finance’’) originates commercial variable-rate loans which are
secured  by  the  underlying  floorplan  equipment  and  supported  by  repurchase  agreements  from  original  equipment
manufacturers. The operation focuses on establishing relationships with distributors, dealer buying groups and manufacturers,
giving TCF access to thousands of independent retailers in the areas of powersports, lawn and garden, electronics and appliance,
recreational vehicles, marine, and specialty vehicles. TCF Inventory Finance operates in the United States and Canada and, to a
limited extent, in other foreign countries. TCF Inventory Finance’s portfolio outstandings are impacted by seasonal shipment and
sales activities as dealers receive inventory shipments in anticipation of the upcoming selling season while carrying current
season  product.  In  2009,  TCF  Inventory  Finance  formed  a  joint  venture  with  The  Toro  Company  (‘‘Toro’’)  called  Red  Iron
Acceptance, LLC (‘‘Red Iron’’). Red Iron provides U.S. distributors and dealers and select Canadian distributors of the Toro(cid:4) and
Exmark(cid:4) brands with reliable, cost-effective sources of financing. TCF and Toro maintain a 55% and 45% ownership interest,
respectively, in Red Iron.

Auto Finance On November 30, 2011, TCF entered the indirect auto lending market through the acquisition of Gateway One
Lending & Finance, LLC (‘‘Gateway One’’). Headquartered in Anaheim, California, Gateway One originates and services loans on
new and used autos to customers through relationships established with nearly 8,500 franchised and independent dealers in
45 states. Gateway One’s business strategy is to maintain strong relationships with key personnel at the dealerships. These
relationships are a significant driver in generating volume and executing a high-touch underwriting approach to minimize credit
losses.

Funding

Branch Banking Deposits from consumers and small businesses are a primary source of TCF’s funds for use in lending and for
other  general  business  purposes.  Deposit  inflows  and  outflows  are  significantly  influenced  by  economic  and  competitive
conditions, interest rates, market conditions and other factors. Consumer, small business and commercial deposits are attracted
from within TCF’s primary banking markets through the offering of a broad selection of deposit products, including free checking
accounts, money market accounts, regular savings accounts, certificates of deposit and retirement savings plan accounts. TCF’s
marketing strategy emphasizes attracting deposits, primarily in checking accounts, savings accounts and certificates of deposit.
Such deposit accounts are a source of low cost funds and provide fee income, including banking fees and service charges.

At December 31, 2013, TCF had 427 branches, consisting of 194 traditional branches, 225 supermarket branches and 8 campus
branches. TCF operates 192 branches in Illinois, 108 in Minnesota, 53 in Michigan, 36 in Colorado, 25 in Wisconsin, 7 in Arizona, 4
in  Indiana  and  2  in  South  Dakota.  Of  its  225  supermarket  branches,  TCF  had  155  branches  in  Jewel-Osco(cid:4)  stores  at
December  31,  2013.  In  December  2013,  TCF  executed  a  realignment  of  its  retail  banking  system  to  support  its  strategic
initiatives,  which  resulted  in  a  pre-tax  charge  of  $8.9  million  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2013.  The  consolidation  of  37  in-store
branches in Illinois and nine in Minnesota (eight in-store branches and one traditional branch) is expected to occur in March 2014.
The ongoing benefit of this branch realignment is expected to exceed the pre-tax charges, together with the estimated financial
impact of related ongoing account attrition, in less than 12 months. See Item 1A. Risk Factors for additional information regarding
the risks related to TCF’s supermarket branch relationships.

Campus  banking  represents  an  important  part  of  TCF’s  branch  banking  business.  TCF  has  alliances  with  the  University  of
Minnesota, the University of Michigan, the University of Illinois and two other universities. These alliances include exclusive
marketing,  naming  rights  and  other  agreements.  Branches  have  been  opened  on  many  of  the  college  campuses  of  these
universities.  TCF  provides  multi-purpose  campus  cards  for  many  of  these  universities.  These  cards  serve  as  a  school
identification card, ATM card, library card, security card, health care card, phone card and stored value card for vending machines
or similar uses. As of May 2013, TCF was ranked the 6th largest in number of campus card banking relationships in the United

3

States. At December 31, 2013, there were $292.3 million in campus deposits. TCF has a 25-year naming rights agreement with
the University of Minnesota to sponsor its on-campus football stadium, ‘‘TCF Bank Stadium(cid:4)’’, which opened in 2009.

Non-interest income is a significant source of revenue for TCF and an important factor in TCF’s results of operations. Maintaining
fee and service charge revenue has been challenging as a result of economic conditions, changing customer behavior and the
impact of regulations. Providing a wide range of branch banking services is an integral component of TCF’s business philosophy
and  a  major  strategy  for  generating  additional  non-interest  income.  TCF  offers  retail  checking  account  customers  low-cost,
convenient  access  to  funds  at  local  merchants  and  ATMs  through  its  debit  card  programs.  TCF’s  debit  card  programs  are
supported by interchange fees charged to retailers. Key drivers of banking fees and service charges are the number of deposit
accounts and related transaction activity.

Treasury Services Treasury Services’ primary responsibility is management of liquidity, capital, interest rate risk, and portfolio
investments and borrowings. Treasury Services has authority to invest in various types of liquid assets including, but not limited
to, United States Department of the Treasury (‘‘U.S. Treasury’’) obligations and securities of various federal agencies and U.S.
Government sponsored enterprises, deposits of insured banks, bankers’ acceptances and federal funds. Treasury Services also
has the authority to enter into wholesale borrowing transactions which may be used to compensate for reductions in deposit
inflows or net deposit outflows, or to support lending, leasing and other expansion activities. These borrowings may include
Federal Home Loan Bank (‘‘FHLB’’) advances, brokered deposits, repurchase agreements, federal funds, and other permitted
borrowings from credit worthy counterparties.

Information  concerning  TCF’s  FHLB  advances,  repurchase  agreements,  federal  funds  and  other  borrowings  is  set  forth  in
‘‘Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis – Consolidated Financial Condition Analysis – Borrowings’’ and in Notes 10 and
11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Support Services

TCF’s support services business segment consists of the holding company and corporate functions that provide data processing,
bank operations and other professional services to the operating segments.

Other Information

Activities of Subsidiaries of TCF TCF’s business operations include those conducted by direct and indirect subsidiaries of
TCF  Financial,  all  of  which  are  consolidated  for  purposes  of  preparing  TCF’s  consolidated  financial  statements.  TCF  Bank’s
subsidiaries principally engage in leasing and equipment finance, inventory finance and auto finance activities. See ‘‘Item 1.
Business – Lending’’ for more information.

Competition TCF competes with a number of depository institutions and financial service providers experiencing significant
competition in attracting and retaining deposits and in lending activities. Direct competition for deposits comes primarily from
banks,  savings  institutions,  credit  unions  and  investment  banks.  Additional  significant  competition  for  deposits  comes  from
institutions selling money market mutual funds and corporate and government securities. TCF competes for the origination of
loans with banks, mortgage bankers, mortgage brokers, consumer, and commercial finance companies, credit unions, insurance
companies  and  savings  institutions.  TCF  also  competes  nationwide  with  other  companies  and  banks  in  the  financing  of
equipment,  inventory  and  automobiles,  leasing  of  equipment  and  consumer  real  estate  junior  loans.  Expanded  use  of  the
Internet has increased competition affecting TCF and its loan, lease and deposit products.

Employees As  of  December  31,  2013,  TCF  had  7,449  employees,  including  2,008  part-time  employees.  TCF  provides  its
employees with comprehensive benefits, some of which are provided on a contributory basis, including medical and dental
plans, a 401(k) savings plan with a company matching contribution, life insurance and short- and long-term disability coverage.

Regulation

TCF  Financial,  as  a  publicly  held  bank  holding  company,  and  TCF  Bank,  which  has  deposits  insured  by  the  Federal  Deposit
Insurance Corporation (‘‘FDIC’’), are subject to extensive regulation. Among other things, TCF Financial and TCF Bank are subject
to minimum capital requirements, lending and deposit restrictions and numerous other requirements. TCF Financial’s primary
regulator is the Federal Reserve and TCF Bank’s primary regulator is the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (‘‘OCC’’).

Regulatory Capital Requirements TCF Financial and TCF Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements of the Federal
Reserve and the OCC, respectively, as described below. These regulatory agencies are required by law to take prompt action
when institutions are viewed as engaging in unsafe or unsound practices or do not meet certain minimum capital standards. The
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (‘‘FDICIA’’) defines five levels of capital condition, the highest

4

of which is ‘‘well-capitalized.’’ It requires that undercapitalized institutions be subjected to various restrictions such as limitations
on dividends or other capital distributions, limitations on growth or restrictions on activities. Undercapitalized banks must develop
a capital restoration plan and the parent bank holding company is required to guarantee compliance with the plan. TCF and
TCF Bank are ‘‘well-capitalized’’ under the FDICIA capital standards as of December 31, 2013.

In July 2013, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the OCC and FDIC approved final rules (the ‘‘Final Capital
Rules’’)  implementing  revised  capital  requirements  to  reflect  the  requirements  of  the  Dodd-Frank  Wall  Street  Reform  and
Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the ‘‘Dodd-Frank Act’’) and the Basel III international capital standards. Among other things,
the Final Capital Rules establish a new capital ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital of 4.5% and a common equity Tier 1 capital
conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets; increase the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital ratio from 4% to 6% and include
a minimum leverage ratio of 4%; place an emphasis on common equity Tier 1 capital and implement the Dodd-Frank Act phase-
out of certain instruments from Tier 1 capital; and change the risk weights assigned to certain instruments. Failure to meet these
standards  would  result  in  limitations  on  capital  distributions  as  well  as  executive  bonuses.  The  Final  Capital  Rules  will  be
applicable to TCF on January 1, 2015 with conservation buffers phasing in over the subsequent 5 years.

Restrictions on Distributions TCF Financial’s ability to pay dividends is subject to limitations imposed by the Federal Reserve.
In general, Federal Reserve regulatory guidelines require the board of directors of a bank holding company to consider a number
of factors when considering the payment of dividends, including the quality and level of current and future earnings.

Dividends or other capital distributions from TCF Bank to TCF Financial are an important source of funds to enable TCF Financial
to pay dividends on its preferred and common stock, to pay TCF Financial’s obligations, or to meet other cash needs. The ability
of TCF Financial and TCF Bank to pay dividends depends on regulatory policies and regulatory capital requirements and may be
subject to regulatory approval.

In general, TCF Bank may not declare or pay a dividend to TCF Financial in excess of 100% of its net retained profits for the
current year combined with its net retained profits for the preceding two calendar years without prior approval of the OCC.
TCF Bank’s ability to make future capital distributions will depend on its earnings and ability to meet minimum regulatory capital
requirements in effect during current and future periods. These capital adequacy requirements may be higher in the future than
existing minimum regulatory capital requirements. The OCC also has the authority to prohibit the payment of dividends by a
national bank when it determines such payments would constitute an unsafe and unsound banking practice.

In addition, income tax considerations may limit the ability of TCF Bank to make dividend payments in excess of its current and
accumulated tax earnings and profits. Annual dividend distributions in excess of earnings and profits could result in a tax liability
based on the amount of excess earnings distributed and current tax rates.

Regulation  of  TCF  and  Affiliates  and  Insider  Transactions TCF  Financial  is  subject  to  Federal  Reserve  regulations,
examinations and reporting requirements applicable to bank holding companies. Subsidiaries of bank holding companies like
TCF Bank are subject to certain restrictions in their dealings with holding company affiliates.

A holding company must serve as a source of strength for its subsidiary banks, and the Federal Reserve may require a holding
company to contribute additional capital to an under-capitalized subsidiary bank. In addition, the OCC may assess TCF Financial if
it believes the capital of TCF Bank has become impaired. If TCF Financial were to fail to pay such an assessment within three
months, the Board of Directors must cause the sale of TCF Bank’s stock to cover a deficiency in the capital. In the event of a bank
holding company’s bankruptcy, any commitment by the bank holding company to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain
the capital of a subsidiary bank would be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and may be entitled to priority over other creditors.

Under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (‘‘BHCA’’), Federal Reserve approval is required before acquiring more than 5%
control, or substantially all of the assets, of another bank, or bank holding company, or merging or consolidating with such a bank
or bank holding company. The BHCA also generally prohibits a bank holding company, with certain exceptions, from acquiring
direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank or bank holding
company, or from engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks, providing
services for its subsidiaries, or conducting activities permitted by the Federal Reserve as being closely related to the business of
banking. Further restrictions or limitations on acquisitions or establishing financial subsidiaries may also be imposed by TCF’s
regulators or examiners.

Restrictions  on  Acquisitions  and  Changes  in  Control Under  federal  and  state  law,  merger  and  branch  acquisition
transactions  may  be  subject  to  certain  restrictions,  including  certain  nationwide  and  statewide  insured  deposit  maximum
concentration levels or other limitations. In addition, federal and state laws and regulations contain a number of provisions which
impose restrictions on changes in control of financial institutions such as TCF Bank, and which require regulatory approval prior to
any such changes in control.

Insurance of Accounts As of January 1, 2013, non-interest bearing transaction accounts are added to any of a depositor’s
other deposit accounts and the aggregate balance insured up to at least the standard maximum deposit insurance amount of
$250 thousand per depositor, at each separately chartered FDIC-insured institution.

Under Section 331 of the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC insurance assessment base is defined as average total assets minus tangible
equity, which includes liabilities that did not previously enter into the calculation. In addition to risk-based deposit insurance
premiums, additional assessments may be imposed by the Financing Corporation, a separate U.S. government agency affiliated
with the FDIC, on certain insured deposits to pay for the interest cost of Financing Corporation bonds. The Financing Corporation
assessment  rate  for  2013  was  64  cents  for  each  $100  of  deposits.  Financing  Corporation  assessments  of  $1.1  million,
$1.1 million and $1.2 million were paid by TCF Bank in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Dodd-Frank Act also gave the FDIC much greater discretion to manage the Deposit Insurance Fund (‘‘DIF’’). Among other
things, the Dodd-Frank Act: (1) raised the minimum designated reserve ratio (‘‘DRR’’) from 1.15% to 1.35% and removed the
upper limit on the DRR; (2) requires the DIF to reach 1.35% by September 30, 2020; (3) requires that in setting assessments the
FDIC offset the effect of the DRR reaching 1.35% by September 30, 2020, rather than 1.15% by the end of 2016, on insured
depository institutions with total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion; (4) eliminated the requirement that the FDIC pay
dividends from the fund when the DRR is between 1.35% and 1.5%; and (5) continued the FDIC’s authority to declare dividends
when the DRR at the end of a calendar year is at least 1.5%. On December 15, 2010, the FDIC set the DRR at 2.0% and it has not
changed since that time.

The Dodd-Frank Act requires that, for at least five years, the FDIC must make available to the public the reserve ratio using both
estimated insured deposits and the new assessment base. As of September 30, 2013, the DIF ratio calculated by the FDIC using
estimated insured deposits was .68%. The DIF reserve ratio would have been .33% using the new assessment base. In 2013,
for banks with at least $10 billion in total assets, the annual insurance premiums on bank deposits insured by the DIF ranged from
2.5 cents to 45 cents per $100 of deposits.

Examinations  and  Regulatory  Sanctions TCF  is  subject  to  periodic  examination  by  the  Federal  Reserve,  the  OCC,  the
Consumer  Financial  Protection  Bureau  (the  ‘‘CFPB’’)  and  the  FDIC.  Bank  regulatory  authorities  may  impose  a  number  of
restrictions or new requirements on institutions, including, but not limited to, growth limitations, dividend restrictions, increased
regulatory  capital  requirements,  increased  loan,  lease  and  real  estate  loss  reserve  requirements,  increased  supervisory
assessments,  activity  limitations  or  other  restrictions  that  could  have  an  adverse  effect  on  such  institutions,  their  holding
companies or holders of their debt and equity securities. Certain enforcement actions may not be publicly disclosed by TCF or its
regulatory authorities. Various enforcement remedies, including civil money penalties, may be assessed against an institution or
an institution’s directors, officers, employees, agents or independent contractors. Under the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 (the
‘‘BSA’’ or ‘‘Bank Secrecy Act’’), the OCC is obligated to take enforcement action where it finds a statutory or regulatory violation
that would constitute a program violation.

In its 2009 examinations of TCF’s compliance with the BSA, the OCC identified instances of non-compliance that constituted a
program violation. On July 20, 2010, TCF Bank agreed to the issuance of a Consent Order (the ‘‘Order’’) by the OCC, TCF Bank’s
primary banking regulator, addressing certain matters related to the BSA. The Order required TCF Bank to address deficiencies in
TCF  Bank’s  BSA  program  identified  by  the  OCC,  including  review  and  revision  of  TCF  Bank’s  BSA  risk  assessment,  BSA
Compliance Program, and Suspicious Activity Report filing procedures and processes. The OCC did not identify any systemic
undetected criminal activity or money laundering. TCF Bank was also required to address the performance of appropriate due
diligence when an account is opened, and to review transactions since November 2008 for compliance. On January 25, 2013,
TCF entered into a settlement agreement with the OCC related to this review. Pursuant to this agreement, TCF agreed to pay a
$10 million civil money penalty. In December 2013, the OCC terminated the Order.

Subsidiaries of TCF Bank may also be subject to state and/or self-regulatory organization licensing, regulation and examination
requirements in connection with certain activities.

National Bank Investment Limitations Permissible investments by national banks are limited by the National Bank Act of
1864 and by rules of the OCC. Non-traditional bank activities permitted by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 will subject a bank
to  additional  regulatory  limitations  or  requirements,  including  a  required  regulatory  capital  deduction  and  application  of
transactions with affiliates limitations in connection with such activities.

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act Congress enacted the Dodd-Frank Act in July 2010. The
Dodd-Frank Act created the CFPB and gave it broad rulemaking authority to administer and carry out the purposes and objectives
of  the  federal  consumer  financial  laws,  with  respect  to  all  financial  institutions  that  offer  financial  products  and  services  to
consumers.  The  CFPB  is  authorized  to  make  rules  identifying  and  prohibiting  acts  or  practices  that  are  unfair,  deceptive  or

6

abusive in connection with any consumer financial product or service. The CFPB has examination and enforcement authority
over all banks and savings institutions with more than $10 billion in assets, including TCF Bank.

Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Act:

(cid:127) Directed the Federal Reserve to issue rules limiting debit-card interchange fees for larger banks;

(cid:127) Removed,  after  a  three-year  phase-in  period  which  began  January  1,  2013,  trust  preferred  securities  as  a  permitted

component of a bank holding company’s Tier 1 Capital;

(cid:127) Eliminated federal preemption for subsidiaries of national banks and federal savings associations;

(cid:127) Provided  for  new  disclosure  and  other  requirements  relating  to  executive  compensation  and  corporate  governance,

including requiring an advisory vote on executive compensation (‘‘Say on Pay’’);

(cid:127) Provided for mortgage reform addressing a customer’s ability to repay, restricted variable-rate lending by requiring the
ability to repay to be determined for variable-rate loans by using the maximum rate that will apply during the first five years
of a variable rate loan, and made more loans subject to requirements for higher cost loans, new disclosures and certain
other restrictions;

(cid:127) Permanently increased the maximum amount of deposit insurance for banks, savings institutions and credit unions to
$250,000 per depositor, retroactive to January 1, 2008; and allowed depository institutions to pay interest on business
checking accounts, and;

(cid:127) Required publicly-traded bank holding companies with assets of $10 billion or more to establish a risk committee of the

Board of Directors responsible for enterprise-wide risk management practices.

Taxation

Federal Taxation TCF’s federal income tax returns are open and subject to examination for 2012 and later tax return years.

State Taxation TCF and/or its subsidiaries currently file tax returns in all states which impose corporate income and franchise
taxes and local tax returns in certain cities and other taxing jurisdictions. The methods of filing, and the methods for calculating
taxable and apportionable income, vary depending upon the laws of the taxing jurisdiction. See ‘‘Item 1A. Risk Factors’’.

See ‘‘Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis – Consolidated Income Statement Analysis – Income Taxes’’ and Notes 1
and 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding TCF’s income taxes.

Item  1A. Risk  Factors
Various risks and uncertainties may affect TCF’s business. Any of the risks described below or elsewhere in this Annual Report
on Form 10-K or TCF’s other SEC filings may have a material impact on TCF’s financial condition or results of operations.

TCF’s earnings are significantly affected by  general economic  and political conditions.

TCF’s operations and profitability are impacted by general business and economic conditions in the local markets in which TCF
operates, the U.S. generally and abroad. Economic conditions have a significant impact on the demand for TCF’s products and
services, as well as the ability of its customers to repay loans, the value of the collateral securing loans, the ability of TCF to sell
loans, the stability of its deposit funding sources and sales revenue at the end of contractual lease terms. A significant decline in
general economic conditions caused by inflation, recession, unemployment, changes in securities markets, changes in housing
market prices or other factors could impact economic conditions and, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on TCF’s
financial condition and results of operations.

7

Additionally, adverse economic conditions may result in a decline in demand for automobiles or equipment that TCF leases or
finances,  which  could  result  in  a  decline  in  the  amount  of  new  equipment  being  placed  in  service,  as  well  as  declines  in
automobile and equipment values for automobiles and equipment already in service. Adverse economic conditions may also
hinder TCF from expanding the inventory or auto finance businesses by limiting its ability to attract and retain manufacturers and
dealers as expected. Any such difficulties in TCF’s leasing and equipment, inventory and auto finance businesses could have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.

TCF is subject to interest rate risk.

TCF’s earnings and cash flows largely depend upon its net interest income. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that
are beyond TCF’s control, including general economic conditions and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies,
including the Federal Reserve. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could influence not only the
interest TCF receives on loans and other investments and the amount of interest TCF pays on deposits and other borrowings, but
such changes could also affect: (i) TCF’s ability to originate loans and obtain deposits; (ii) the fair value of TCF’s financial assets
and liabilities; and (iii) the average duration of TCF’s interest-earning assets. If the interest rates paid on deposits and other
borrowings increase at a faster rate than the interest rates received on loans and other investments, then TCF’s net interest
income and earnings could be adversely affected. Earnings could also be adversely affected if the interest rates received on loans
and other investments fall more quickly than the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings. Although management
believes it has implemented effective asset and liability management strategies, any substantial, unexpected and prolonged
change in market interest rates could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.

An inability to obtain needed liquidity could have a material adverse effect on TCF’s financial condition and results
of operations.

TCF’s liquidity could be limited by an inability to access the capital markets or unforeseen outflows of cash, which could arise due
to circumstances outside of its control, such as a general market disruption or an operational problem that affects TCF or third
parties. TCF’s credit rating is important to its liquidity. A further reduction or anticipated reduction in TCF’s credit ratings could
adversely  affect  the  ability  of  TCF  Bank  and  its  subsidiaries  to  lend  and  its  liquidity  and  competitive  position,  increase  its
borrowing costs, limit its access to the capital markets or trigger unfavorable contractual obligations. An inability to meet its
funding needs on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on TCF’s financial condition and results of operations.

TCF Financial relies  on dividends from TCF  Bank for most  of  its  liquidity.

TCF  Financial  is  a  separate  and  distinct  legal  entity  from  its  banking  and  other  subsidiaries.  TCF  Financial’s  liquidity  comes
principally from dividends from TCF Bank. These dividends, which are limited by various federal and state regulations, are the
principal source of funds to pay dividends on its preferred and common stock and to meet its other cash needs. In the event
TCF Bank is unable to pay dividends to it, TCF Financial may not be able to pay dividends or other obligations, which would have a
material adverse effect on TCF’s financial condition and results of operations.

Loss of  customer deposits could increase TCF’s  funding costs.

TCF  relies  on  bank  deposits  to  be  a  low  cost  and  stable  source  of  funding.  TCF  competes  with  banks  and  other  financial
institutions for deposits. If TCF’s competitors raise the rates they pay on deposits, TCF’s funding costs may increase through
either a loss of deposits or an increase in rates paid by TCF to avoid losing deposits. Increased funding costs could reduce TCF’s
net interest margin and net interest income, which could have a material adverse effect on TCF’s financial condition and results of
operations.

The soundness of other financial institutions  could adversely affect  TCF.

TCF’s ability to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely affected by the actions and commercial soundness of
other financial institutions. TCF routinely executes transactions with counterparties in the financial industry, including brokers
and dealers, commercial banks and other institutional clients. As a result, defaults by, or even rumors regarding, any financial
institutions, or the financial services industry generally, could lead to losses or defaults by TCF or a counterparty. Many of these
transactions expose TCF to credit risk in the event of default of the counterparty or client. In addition, TCF’s credit risk may be
exacerbated when the collateral held by TCF cannot be realized or is liquidated at prices not sufficient to recover the full amount
of  the  financial  exposure.  Any  such  losses  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  TCF’s  financial  condition  and  results  of
operations.

8

TCF relies on its systems and counterparties, and any failures could have a material adverse effect on its financial
condition and results of operations.

TCF  settles  funds  on  behalf  of  financial  institutions,  other  businesses  and  consumers  and  receives  funds  from  payment
networks, consumers and other paying agents. TCF’s businesses depend on their ability to process, record and monitor a large
number  of  complex  transactions.  If  any  of  TCF’s  financial,  accounting  or  other  data  processing  systems  fail  or  if  personal
information of TCF’s customers or clients were mishandled or misused (whether by employees or counterparties), TCF could
suffer regulatory consequences, reputational damage and financial losses, any of which could have a material adverse effect on
its financial condition and results of operations.

Additionally, TCF may be subject to disruptions of its operating systems arising from events that are wholly or partially beyond its
control, which may include, for example, computer viruses, electrical or telecommunications outages, natural disasters, terrorist
acts or other damage to property or physical assets. Such disruptions may give rise to loss of services to customers and loss or
liability to TCF. Any system failure could have a material adverse effect on TCF’s financial condition and results of operations.

TCF faces cyber-security and other external risks, including ‘‘denial of service,’’ ‘‘hacking’’ and ‘‘identity theft,’’ that
could adversely affect TCF’s reputation and could have a material adverse effect on TCF’s financial condition and
results of operations.

TCF’s computer systems and network infrastructure present security risks, and could be susceptible to cyber-attacks, such as
denial of service attacks, hacking, terrorist activities or identity theft. Hacking and identity theft risks, in particular, could cause
serious reputational harm. Cyber threats are rapidly evolving and TCF may not be able to anticipate or prevent all such attacks.
While TCF has not experienced a material cyber-security breach, TCF experiences periodic threats to its data and systems,
including malware and computer virus attacks, attempted unauthorized access of accounts, and attempts to disrupt its systems.
TCF may incur increasing costs in an effort to minimize these risks, could be held liable for, and could suffer reputational damage
as a result of, any security breach or loss.

In addition, there have been increasingly sophisticated and large-scale efforts on the part of third parties to breach data security
with  respect  to  financial  transactions,  including  by  intercepting  account  information  at  locations  where  customers  make
purchases, as well as through the use of social engineering schemes such as ‘‘phishing.’’ For example, large retailers such as
Target Corporation and Neiman Marcus Group LTD LLC have recently reported data breaches resulting in the loss of customer
information. In the event that third parties are able to misappropriate financial information of TCF’s customers, even if such
breaches take place due to weaknesses in other parties’ internal data security procedures, TCF could suffer reputational or
financial losses which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.

The  success  of  TCF’s  supermarket  branches  depends  on  the  continued  long-term  success  and  viability  of  TCF’s
supermarket  partners,  TCF’s  ability  to  maintain  licenses  or  lease  agreements  for  its  supermarket  locations  and
customer preferences.

A significant financial decline or change in ownership involving one of TCF’s supermarket partners, including SUPERVALU Inc. or
Jewel-Osco, could result in the loss of supermarket branches or could increase costs to operate the supermarket branches. At
December 31, 2013, TCF had 225 supermarket branches. Supermarket banking continues to play an important role in TCF’s
deposit account strategy. TCF is subject to the risk, among others, that its license or lease for a location or locations will terminate
upon the sale or closure of that location or locations by the supermarket partner. Also, continued difficult economic conditions,
financial or labor difficulties in the supermarket industry, or a decrease in customer utilization of traditional bank branches may
reduce activity in TCF’s supermarket branches. Any of these could have a material adverse effect on TCF’s financial condition and
results of operations.

New lines of business  or new products  and services  may  subject  TCF  to additional  risk.

From  time  to  time,  TCF  may  implement  new  lines  of  business  or  offer  new  products  and  services  within  existing  lines  of
business. There are substantial risks and uncertainties associated with these efforts, particularly in instances where the markets
are  not  fully  developed.  In  developing  and  marketing  new  lines  of  business  and  new  products  or  services,  TCF  may  invest
significant time and resources. Initial timetables for the introduction and development of new lines of business and new products
or services may not be achieved and price and profitability targets may not prove feasible. External factors, such as compliance
with regulations, competitive alternatives and shifting market preferences may also impact the successful implementation of a
new line of business or a new product or service. Furthermore, any new line of business or new product or service could have a
significant impact on the effectiveness of TCF’s system of internal controls. Failure to successfully manage these risks in the

9

development and implementation of new lines of business and new products or services could have a material adverse effect on
TCF’s financial condition and results of operations.

Increased competition in the already highly competitive financial services industry could have a material adverse
effect on TCF’s financial condition and  results  of operations.

The financial services industry is highly competitive and could become even more competitive as a result of legislative, regulatory
and technological changes, as well as continued industry consolidation, which may increase in connection with current economic
and  market  conditions.  TCF  competes  with  other  commercial  banks,  savings  and  loan  associations,  mutual  savings  banks,
finance companies, mortgage banking companies, credit unions and investment companies. In addition, technology has lowered
barriers to entry and made it possible for non-banks to offer products and services traditionally only provided by banks. Some of
TCF’s  competitors  have  fewer  regulatory  constraints  or  lower  cost  structures.  Also,  the  potential  need  to  adapt  to  industry
changes in information technology systems, on which TCF and the financial services industry generally highly depend, could
present operational issues and require considerable capital spending. As a result, any increased competition in the already highly
competitive financial services industry could have a material adverse effect on TCF’s financial condition and results of operations.

The allowance for  loan and lease losses maintained by  TCF  may not be sufficient.

All borrowers have the potential to default, and TCF’s remedies may not fully satisfy the obligations owed to TCF. TCF maintains
an allowance for loan and lease losses, which is a reserve established through a provision for loan and lease losses charged to
expense, which represents management’s best estimate of probable credit losses that have been incurred within the existing
portfolio of loans and leases. The level of the allowance for loan and lease losses reflects management’s continuing evaluation of
industry concentrations, specific credit risks, loan loss experience, current loan portfolio quality, present economic, political and
regulatory  conditions  and  unidentified  losses  in  the  current  loan  portfolio.  The  determination  of  the  appropriate  level  of  the
allowance  for  loan  and  lease  losses  involves  a  high  degree  of  subjectivity  and  requires  management  to  make  significant
estimates of current credit risks using qualitative and quantitative factors, each of which is subject to significant change. Changes
in economic conditions affecting borrowers, new information regarding existing loans, identification of additional problem loans
and  other  factors  may  require  an  increase  in  the  allowance  for  loan  and  lease  losses.  In  addition,  bank  regulatory  agencies
periodically review TCF’s allowance for loan and lease losses and may require an increase in the provision for loan and lease
losses or the recognition of additional loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management. An increase in
the allowance for loan and lease losses would result in a decrease in net income, and possibly risk-based capital, and could have a
material adverse effect on TCF’s financial condition and results of operations.

TCF is subject to extensive government regulation  and  supervision.

TCF Financial, its subsidiary TCF Bank and certain indirect subsidiaries are subject to extensive federal and state regulation and
supervision. Banking regulations are primarily intended to protect bank customers, depositors’ funds, federal deposit insurance
funds and the banking system as a whole, not stockholders. These regulations affect TCF’s revenues, lending practices, capital
structure,  investment  practices,  dividend  policy  and  growth,  among  other  things.  Congress  and  federal  regulatory  agencies
continually review banking laws, regulations and policies for possible changes. A number of new banking rules have been issued
in  recent  years,  in  many  cases  with  limited  interpretive  guidance.  Changes  to  statutes,  regulations  or  regulatory  policies,
including changes in interpretation or enforcement of such statutes, regulations or policies, could affect TCF in substantial and
unpredictable ways. For example, in recent years there has also been an increase in the frequency of enforcement actions
brought by regulatory agencies, such as the CFPB, dealing with matters such as indirect auto lending, fair lending, account fees,
loan  servicing  and  other  products  and  services  provided  to  customers.  Changes  in  regulations,  regulatory  policies  and
enforcement  activity  could  subject  TCF  to  reduced  revenues,  additional  costs,  limits  on  the  types  of  financial  services  and
products it may offer or increased competition from non-banks offering competing financial services and products, among other
things. While TCF has policies and procedures designed to prevent violations of the extensive federal and state regulations it is
subject to, there can be no assurance that such violations will not occur, and failure to comply with these statutes, regulations or
policies could result in sanctions against TCF by regulatory agencies, civil money penalties and reputational damage, any of which
could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.

Further, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act
of 2001 (the ‘‘Patriot Act’’), the Bank Secrecy Act and similar laws require financial institutions to develop programs to prevent
them  from  being  used  for  money  laundering  and  terrorist  activities.  If  such  activities  are  detected,  financial  institutions  are
obligated to file suspicious activity reports with the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. These rules
require financial institutions to establish procedures for identifying and verifying the identity of customers seeking to open new
accounts. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in sanctions and possibly fines. In the past, several financial

10

institutions have received sanctions and some have incurred large fines for non-compliance. On January 25, 2013, TCF entered
into a settlement agreement with the OCC related to TCF’s past compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act, pursuant to which TCF
agreed to pay a $10 million civil money penalty. Violations of these regulations could have a material adverse effect on TCF’s
financial condition and results of operations.

TCF’s  earnings  are  significantly  affected  by  the  fiscal  and  monetary  policies  of  the  federal  government  and  its
agencies.

The policies of the Federal Reserve impact TCF significantly. The Federal Reserve regulates the supply of money and credit in the
U.S. Its policies directly and indirectly influence the rate of interest earned on loans and paid on borrowings and interest-bearing
deposits, and also affect the value of financial instruments that TCF holds. Those policies determine to a significant extent the
cost of funds for lending and investing. Changes in those policies are beyond TCF’s control and are difficult to predict. Federal
Reserve  policies  can  also  affect  TCF’s  borrowers,  potentially  increasing  the  risk  that  they  may  fail  to  repay  their  loans.  For
example, a tightening of the money supply by the Federal Reserve could increase unemployment or reduce the demand for a
borrower’s products and services. This could adversely affect the borrower’s earnings and ability to repay its loan. As a result,
changes to the fiscal and monetary policies by the Federal Reserve could have a material adverse effect on TCF’s financial
condition and results of operations.

Proposed  and  future  legislative  and  regulatory  initiatives  may  substantially  increase  compliance  burdens,  which
could have a material adverse effect on TCF’s financial  condition and results  of  operations.

Future legislative and regulatory initiatives cannot be fully or accurately predicted. Such proposals may impose more stringent
standards than currently applicable or anticipated with respect to capital and liquidity requirements for depository institutions. For
example, Congress enacted the Dodd-Frank Act in July 2010. Uncertainty remains as to many aspects of its ultimate impact,
which could have a material adverse effect on the financial services industry as a whole and, specifically, on TCF’s financial
condition and results of operations.

In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act created the CFPB, which has examination and enforcement authority over TCF Bank and its
subsidiaries,  and  gave  it  broad  rulemaking  authority  to  administer  and  carry  out  the  purposes  and  objectives  of  the  federal
consumer financial laws with respect to all financial institutions that offer financial products and services to consumers. The
CFPB is authorized to make rules identifying and prohibiting acts or practices that are unfair, deceptive or abusive in connection
with any transaction with a consumer for a consumer financial product or service, or the offering of a consumer financial product
or service. The term ‘‘abusive’’ is new and untested, and uncertainties remain concerning how it will be enforced.

Based on the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and anticipated implementing regulations, it is highly likely that banks and bank
holding  companies  will  be  subject  to  significantly  increased  regulation  and  compliance  obligations  that  expose  TCF  to
noncompliance risk and consequences, which could have a material adverse effect on TCF’s financial condition and results of
operations.

TCF’s framework for managing risks may not be effective  in  mitigating  risk  and any resulting loss.

TCF’s risk management framework seeks to mitigate risk and any resulting loss. TCF has established processes intended to
identify, measure, monitor, report and analyze the types of risk to which TCF is subject, including liquidity, credit, market, interest
rate,  operational,  foreign  currency,  legal  and  compliance  and  reputational  risk.  However,  as  with  any  risk  management
framework, there are inherent limitations to TCF’s risk management strategies. There may exist, or develop in the future, risks
that TCF has not appropriately anticipated or identified. Any future breakdowns in TCF’s risk management framework could have
a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.

Failure to keep pace with technological  change  could  adversely  affect  TCF’s business.

The  financial  services  industry  is  continually  undergoing  rapid  technological  change  with  frequent  introductions  of  new
technology-driven products and services. TCF’s future success depends, in part, upon its ability to address the needs of its
customers  by  using  technology  to  provide  products  and  services  that  will  satisfy  customer  demands,  as  well  as  to  create
additional efficiencies in its operations. Many of TCF’s competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological
improvements. TCF may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in
marketing these products and services to its customers. Failure to successfully keep pace with technological change affecting
the financial services industry could have a material adverse effect on TCF’s financial condition and results of operations.

11

The Company may be  subject  to certain risks  related  to originating  and  selling loans.

When loans are sold or securitized, it is customary to make representations and warranties to the purchaser or investors about
the loans and the manner in which they were originated. These agreements generally require the repurchase or substitution of
loans  in  the  event  TCF  breaches  any  of  these  representations  or  warranties.  In  addition,  there  may  be  a  requirement  to
repurchase loans as a result of borrower fraud or in the event of early payment default of the borrower on a loan. TCF has not
received a significant number of repurchase and indemnity demands from purchasers, and such demands have typically resulted
from  borrower  fraud  and  early  payment  default  of  the  borrower  on  loans.  A  material  increase  in  repurchase  and  indemnity
demands could have a material adverse effect on TCF’s financial condition and results of operations.

TCF retains interest-only strips in connection with certain of its loan sales. The interest-only strip is recorded at fair value at the
time of sale, which represents the present value of future cash flows generated by the loans to be retained by TCF. The value of
these interest-only strips may be affected by factors such as changes in the behavior patterns of customers (including defaults
and prepayments), changes in the strength of the economy and developments in the interest rate markets; therefore, actual
performance may differ from TCF’s expectations. The impact of such factors could have a material adverse effect on the value of
these interest-only strips and on TCF’s financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, TCF relies on the sale of loans to generate earnings and manage its liquidity and capital levels, as well as geographical
and product diversity in its loan portfolio. For example, TCF sold $1.6 billion of loans from its auto and consumer real estate
businesses for a pre-tax gain of $51.4 million in 2013. Disruptions in the financial markets, changes to regulations that reduce the
attractiveness of such loans to purchasers of the loans, or a decrease in the willingness of purchasers to purchase loans in
general, or from TCF, could require TCF to decrease its lending activities or retain a greater portion of the loans it originates.
Although retaining, rather than selling, loans would generate additional interest income, it would result in a decrease in the gains
recognized on the sale of loans, could result in decreased liquidity, and could result in increased credit risk as TCF’s loan portfolio
increased in size from loans it originated but had otherwise planned to sell. As a result, any of these developments could have a
material adverse effect on TCF’s financial condition and results of operations.

Financial institutions depend on the accuracy and completeness of information about customers and counterparties.

In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions, TCF may rely on information furnished by or on behalf of
customers and counterparties, including financial statements, credit reports and other financial information. TCF may also rely on
representations of those customers, counterparties or other third parties, such as independent auditors, as to the accuracy and
completeness of that information. Reliance on inaccurate or misleading financial statements, credit reports or other financial
information could cause TCF to enter into unfavorable transactions, which could have a material adverse effect on TCF’s financial
condition and results of operations.

Failure to attract and retain key personnel could have a material adverse effect on TCF’s financial condition and
results of operations.

TCF’s success depends to a large extent upon its ability to attract and retain key personnel. The loss of key personnel could have
a material adverse impact on TCF’s business because of their skills, market knowledge, industry experience and the difficulty of
promptly finding a qualified replacement. Additionally, portions of TCF’s business are relationship driven, and many of its key
personnel have extensive customer relationships. Loss of such key personnel to a competitor could result in the loss of some of
TCF’s customers. As a result, a failure to attract and retain key personnel could have a material adverse effect on TCF’s financial
condition and results of operations.

TCF relies on other  companies to  provide  key  components  of  its  business  infrastructure.

Third party vendors provide key components of TCF’s business infrastructure, such as internet connections, network access and
transaction and other processing services. While TCF has selected these third party vendors carefully, it does not control their
actions. Any problems caused by these third parties, including as a result of inadequate or interrupted service, could adversely
affect TCF’s ability to deliver products and services to its customers and otherwise to conduct its business. Replacing these third
party vendors could also entail significant delay and expense.

TCF’s internal controls may be  ineffective.

Management  regularly  reviews  and  updates  TCF’s  internal  controls,  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  and  corporate
governance policies and procedures. Any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain
assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met. Any failure or

12

circumvention of TCF’s controls and procedures or failure to comply with regulations related to controls and procedures could
have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.

Negative  publicity could damage TCF’s reputation.

Reputation risk, or the risk to earnings and capital from negative public opinion, is inherent in TCF’s business. Negative public
opinion could adversely affect TCF’s ability to keep and attract employees and customers and expose it to adverse legal and
regulatory consequences. Negative public opinion could result from TCF’s actual or alleged conduct in any number of activities,
including  lending  practices,  corporate  governance,  regulatory  compliance,  mergers  and  acquisitions,  disclosure,  sharing  or
inadequate protection of customer information or from actions taken by government regulators and community organizations in
response to such conduct. Because TCF conducts most of its businesses under the ‘‘TCF’’ brand, negative public opinion about
one business could affect its other businesses.

Acquisitions may  disrupt TCF’s  business and  dilute stockholder value.

TCF  regularly  evaluates  merger  and  acquisition  opportunities  and  conducts  due  diligence  activities  related  to  possible
transactions with banks or other financial institutions. As a result, negotiations may take place and future mergers or acquisitions
involving cash, debt or equity securities may occur at any time. TCF seeks merger or acquisition partners that are culturally
similar,  have  experienced  management  and  possess  either  significant  market  presence  or  have  potential  for  improved
profitability  through  financial  management,  economies  of  scale  or  expanded  services.  Acquiring  other  banks,  businesses  or
branches involves potential adverse impact to TCF’s results of operations and various other risks commonly associated with
acquisitions, such as: difficulty in estimating the value of the target company; payment of a premium over book and market
values  that  may  dilute  TCF’s  tangible  book  value  and  earnings  per  share  in  the  short-  and  long-term;  potential  exposure  to
unknown  or  contingent  liabilities  of  the  target  company;  exposure  to  potential  asset  quality  issues  of  the  target  company;
volatility in reported income as goodwill impairment losses could occur irregularly and in varying amounts; difficulty and expense
of integrating the operations and personnel of the target company; inability to realize the expected revenue increases, cost
savings,  increases  in  geographic  or  product  presence  or  other  projected  benefits;  potential  disruption  to  TCF’s  business;
potential diversion of TCF management’s time and attention; potential loss of key employees and customers of TCF or the target
company; and potential changes in banking or tax laws or regulations that may affect the target company.

Consumers  may decide not to use  banks to  complete their  financial  transactions.

Technology  and  other  changes  are  allowing  consumers  to  complete  financial  transactions  through  alternative  methods  that
historically have involved banks. For example, consumers can now maintain funds that would have previously been held as bank
deposits  in  brokerage  accounts,  mutual  funds  or  general-purpose  reloadable  prepaid  cards.  Consumers  can  also  complete
transactions such as paying bills and transferring funds directly without the assistance of banks. The process of eliminating banks
as  intermediaries  could  result  in  the  loss  of  fee  income,  as  well  as  the  loss  of  customer  deposits  and  the  related  income
generated from those deposits. The loss of these revenue streams and the loss of lower-cost deposits as a source of funds could
have a material adverse effect on TCF’s financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in accounting policies or in accounting standards could materially affect how TCF reports its financial
condition and results of operations.

TCF’s accounting policies are fundamental to the understanding of its financial condition and results of operations. Some of these
policies require the use of estimates and assumptions  that  may affect the value  of  TCF’s  assets or  liabilities and  results of
operations. Some of TCF’s accounting policies are critical because they require management to make difficult, subjective and
complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because materially different amounts would be reported if
different  estimates  or  assumptions  were  used.  If  such  estimates  or  assumptions  underlying  the  financial  statements  are
incorrect, TCF could experience material losses. From time to time the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) and the
SEC change the financial accounting and reporting standards or the interpretation of those standards that govern the preparation
of TCF’s financial statements. These changes are beyond TCF’s control, can be difficult to predict and could materially impact
how TCF reports its financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, TCF could be required to apply a new or revised
standard retrospectively, resulting in it restating prior period financial statements in material amounts.

TCF is subject to examinations and challenges  by tax authorities.

TCF is subject to federal, state, and foreign income tax regulations, which often require interpretation due to their complexity.
Changes in income tax regulations or in how the regulations are interpreted could have a material adverse effect on TCF’s results

13

of operations. In the normal course of business, TCF is routinely subject to examinations and challenges from taxing authorities,
regarding its tax positions. Recently, taxing authorities have become increasingly aggressive in challenging tax positions taken by
financial institutions. These tax positions may relate to tax compliance, sales and use, franchise, gross receipts, payroll, property
and income tax issues, including tax base, apportionment and tax credit planning. These challenges may result in adjustments to
the timing or amount of taxable income or deductions, or the allocation of income among tax jurisdictions. If any such challenges
are made and are not resolved in TCF’s favor, they could have a material adverse effect on TCF’s financial condition and results of
operations.

Additionally, if TCF’s Real Estate Investment Trust (‘‘REIT’’) affiliate fails to qualify as a REIT, or if states enact legislation taxing
REITs or related entities, TCF’s tax expense would increase. TCF’s REIT and related companies must meet specific provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and state tax laws. Use of REITs is and has been the subject of federal and state
audits, litigation with state taxing authorities and tax policy debates by various state legislatures.

Significant legal actions could subject TCF  to substantial  uninsured liabilities.

TCF is subject to various claims related to its operations. These claims and legal actions, including supervisory actions by its
regulators and other government authorities, could involve large monetary claims or penalties, as well as significant defense
costs.  To  protect  itself  from  the  cost  of  certain  kinds  of  claims,  TCF  maintains  insurance  coverage  in  amounts  and  with
deductibles that it believes are appropriate for its operations. However, TCF’s insurance coverage only covers certain types of
liability, and such insurance may not continue to be available to TCF at a reasonable cost, or at all. As a result, TCF may be
exposed to substantial uninsured liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on TCF’s financial condition and results of
operations.

In addition, customers may make claims and take legal action pertaining to TCF’s sale or servicing of various types of loan, lease
and deposit products. Whether customer claims and legal action related to TCF are founded or unfounded, such claims and legal
actions may result in significant financial liability and could adversely affect the market perception of TCF and its products and
services, as well as impact customer demand for those products and services. Any financial liability or reputational damage could
have a material adverse effect on TCF’s financial condition and results of operations.

In particular, the financial services industry has increasingly been targeted by lawsuits alleging infringement of patent rights,
often from patent holding companies seeking to monetize patents they have purchased or otherwise obtained. Regardless of the
scope or validity of such patents or other intellectual property rights, or the merits of any claims by potential or actual litigants, the
Company may have to engage in protracted and costly litigation. If the Company is found to infringe one or more patents or other
intellectual property rights, it may be required to pay substantial damages or royalties to a third-party, or it may be subject to a
temporary  or  permanent  injunction  prohibiting  the  Company  from  utilizing  certain  technologies.  Regardless  of  the  merit  of
particular  claims,  litigation  may  be  expensive,  time-consuming,  disruptive  to  the  Company’s  operations,  and  distracting  to
management.

TCF is subject to environmental liability risk  associated  with  lending  activities.

A significant portion of TCF’s loan portfolio is secured by real property. In the ordinary course of business, TCF may foreclose on
and take title to properties securing certain loans. In doing so, there is a risk that hazardous or toxic substances could be found on
these properties. If hazardous or toxic substances are found, TCF may be liable for remediation costs, as well as for personal
injury and property damage. Environmental laws may require TCF to incur substantial expenses and may materially reduce the
affected property’s value or limit TCF’s ability to use or sell the affected property. In addition, future laws or more stringent
interpretations or enforcement policies with respect to existing laws may increase TCF’s exposure to environmental liability. The
remediation costs and any other financial liabilities associated with an environmental hazard could have a material adverse effect
on TCF’s financial condition and results of operations.

None.

Item  2. Properties
Offices TCF owns its headquarters offices in Wayzata, Minnesota. Other operations facilities, located in Minnesota, Illinois,
California, Michigan, Colorado, South Dakota, Georgia and Ontario, Canada, are either owned or leased. At December 31, 2013,
TCF owned the buildings and land for 145 of its bank branch offices, owned the buildings but leased the land for 23 of its bank
branch  offices  and  leased  or  licensed  the  remaining  259  bank  branch  offices,  all  of  which  are  functional  and  appropriately
maintained and are utilized by both the Lending and Funding reportable segments. These branch offices are located in Illinois,
Minnesota,  Michigan,  Colorado,  Wisconsin,  Indiana,  Arizona  and  South  Dakota.  For  more  information  on  premises  and
equipment, see Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item  3. Legal Proceedings
From  time  to  time,  TCF  is  a  party  to  legal  proceedings  arising  out  of  its  lending,  leasing  and  deposit  operations,  including
foreclosure proceedings and other collection actions as part of its lending and leasing collections activities. TCF may also be
subject to enforcement actions brought by federal regulators, including the SEC, the Federal Reserve, the OCC and the CFPB.
From time to time, borrowers and other customers, and employees and former employees, have also brought actions against
TCF, in some cases claiming substantial damages. TCF and other financial services companies are subject to the risk of class
action litigation. Litigation is often unpredictable and the actual results of litigation cannot be determined, and therefore the
ultimate resolution of a matter and the possible range of loss associated with certain potential outcomes cannot be established.
Based  on  our  current  understanding  of  these  pending  legal  proceedings,  management  does  not  believe  that  judgments  or
settlements arising from pending or threatened legal matters, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse
effect  on  the  consolidated  financial  position,  operating  results  or  cash  flows  of  TCF.  TCF  is  also  subject  to  regulatory
examinations, and TCF’s regulatory authorities may impose sanctions on TCF for failures related to regulatory compliance. In
December 2013, the OCC terminated the regulatory order related to previously disclosed deficiencies in its BSA compliance
program. TCF Bank has made comprehensive changes to its BSA compliance program and has satisfied the legal and regulatory
requirements of the order.

The Board of Directors of TCF Financial and TCF Bank have each adopted a Capital Plan and Dividend Policy. The policies define
how enterprise risk related to capital will be managed, how the adequacy of capital will be measured and the process by which
capital strategy, capital management and preferred and common stock dividend recommendations will be presented to TCF’s
Board  of  Directors.  TCF’s  management  is  charged  with  ensuring  that  capital  strategy  actions,  including  the  declaration  of
preferred and common stock dividends, are prudent, efficient and provide value to TCF’s stockholders, while ensuring that past
and prospective earnings retention is consistent with TCF’s capital needs, asset quality, risk profile and overall financial condition.
The Board of Directors intends to continue its practice of paying quarterly cash dividends on TCF’s common stock as justified by
the financial condition of TCF. The declaration and amount of future dividends will depend on circumstances existing at the time,
including  TCF’s  earnings,  level  of  internally  generated  common  capital  excluding  earnings,  financial  condition  and  capital
requirements, the cash available to pay such dividends (derived mainly from dividends and distributions from TCF Bank), as well
as regulatory and contractual limitations and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant. Also, dividends for
the  current  dividend  period  on  all  outstanding  shares  of  preferred  stock  must  be  declared  and  paid  or  declared  and  a  sum
sufficient for the payment thereof must be set aside before any dividend may be declared or paid on TCF’s common stock. In
general, TCF Bank may not declare or pay a dividend to TCF Financial in excess of 100% of its net retained profits for that year
combined with its net retained profits for the preceding two calendar years without prior approval of the OCC. Restrictions on the
ability of TCF Bank to pay cash dividends or possible diminished earnings of TCF may limit the ability of TCF Financial to pay
dividends in the future to holders of its preferred and common stock. In addition, the ability of TCF Financial and TCF Bank to pay
dividends depends on regulatory policies and capital requirements and may be subject to regulatory approval. See ‘‘Item 1.
Business – Regulation – Regulatory Capital Requirements’’, ‘‘Item 1. Business – Regulation – Restrictions on Distributions’’ and
Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Management’s  discussion  and  analysis  of  the  consolidated  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations  of  TCF  Financial
Corporation  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  ‘‘Item  1A.  Risk  Factors’’,  ‘‘Item  6.  Selected  Financial  Data’’,  and  ‘‘Item  8.
Consolidated Financial Statements’’.

Overview

TCF  Financial  Corporation,  a  Delaware  corporation  (‘‘TCF’’  or  the  ‘‘Company’’),  is  a  national  bank  holding  company  based  in
Wayzata,  Minnesota.  Unless  otherwise  indicated,  references  herein  to  ‘‘TCF’’  include  its  direct  and  indirect  subsidiaries.  Its
principal subsidiary, TCF National Bank (‘‘TCF Bank’’), is headquartered in South Dakota. References herein to ‘‘TCF Financial’’
refer  to  TCF  Financial  Corporation  on  an  unconsolidated  basis.  At  December  31,  2013,  TCF  had  427  branches  in  Illinois,
Minnesota, Michigan, Colorado, Wisconsin, Arizona, Indiana and South Dakota (TCF’s primary banking markets).

Net  interest  income,  the  difference  between  interest  income  earned  on  loans  and  leases,  securities  available  for  sale,
investments and other interest-earning assets and interest paid on deposits and borrowings, represented 66.5%, 61.4% and
61.2% of TCF’s total revenue in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Net interest income can change significantly from period to
period based on general levels of interest rates, customer prepayment patterns, the mix of interest-earning assets and the mix of
interest-bearing and non-interest bearing deposits and borrowings. TCF manages the risk of changes in interest rates on its net
interest  income  through  an  Asset/Liability  Management  Committee  and  through  related  interest-rate  risk  monitoring  and
management policies. See ‘‘Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors’’ and ‘‘Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about
Market Risk’’ for further discussion.

Non-interest income is a significant source of revenue for TCF and an important component of TCF’s results of operations.
Increasing fee and service charge revenue has been challenging as a result of changing customer behavior and the impact of
recent changes in regulations. Providing a wide range of retail banking services is an integral component of TCF’s business
philosophy and a major strategy for generating non-interest income. Key drivers of bank fees and service charges are the number
of deposit accounts and related transaction activity.

The  following  portions  of  this  Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations
(‘‘Management’s Discussion and Analysis’’) focus in more detail on the results of operations for 2013, 2012 and 2011, and on
information about TCF’s balance sheet, loan and lease portfolio, liquidity, funding resources, capital and other matters.

Results of Operations

Performance Summary TCF reported diluted earnings per common share of 82 cents for 2013, compared with diluted loss
per common share of $1.37 for 2012 and diluted earnings per common share of 71 cents for 2011. TCF reported net income of
$132.6  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2013,  compared  with  a  net  loss  of  $218.5  million  and  net  income  of
$109.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. TCF’s 2012 net loss included a non-recurring net
after-tax charge of $295.8 million, or $1.87 per common share, related to the repositioning of TCF’s balance sheet completed in
the first quarter of 2012.

On March 13, 2012, TCF announced it had repositioned its balance sheet by prepaying $3.6 billion of long-term debt and selling
$1.9 billion of mortgage-backed securities. TCF’s long-term, fixed-rate debt was originated at market rates that prevailed prior to
the 2008 economic crisis and was significantly above market rates at the time of repositioning. In addition, in late January 2012
the Federal Reserve forecasted interest rates to remain at historically low levels through at least 2014. As a result, this action
better positioned TCF for the current interest rate outlook and reduced TCF’s interest rate risk.

Return on average assets was a positive .87% in 2013, compared with a negative return of 1.14% in 2012 and a positive return of
.61% in 2011. Return on average common equity was a positive 8.12% in 2013, compared with a negative return of 13.33% in
2012 and a positive return of 6.32% in 2011. The negative returns on average assets and average common equity for 2012 were
due to the balance sheet repositioning discussed above.

Reportable Segment Results

Lending TCF’s  lending  strategy  is  primarily  to  originate  high  credit  quality  secured  loans  and  leases.  The  lending  portfolio
consists of retail lending, commercial real estate and business lending, leasing and equipment finance, inventory finance and
auto finance. Lending’s disciplined portfolio growth generates earning assets and, along with its fee generating capabilities,
produces a significant portion of the Company’s revenue. Lending generated net income available to common stockholders of
$136.2 million in 2013, compared with net income of $30.9 million and $31.5 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively.

21

Lending net interest income for 2013 was $568.3 million, up 8.4% from $524.4 million in 2012, which was up 11.5% from
$470.2 million in 2011. These increases were primarily due to higher average balances driven by continued growth in the auto
finance and inventory finance businesses, partially offset by downward pressure on yields across the lending businesses in the
current low-interest rate environment.

Lending provision for credit losses totaled $115.4 million in 2013, down 53% from $245.4 million for 2012, which was up 23.8%
from $198.1 million in 2011. The decrease in 2013 was primarily due to decreased net charge-offs in the consumer real estate
portfolio resulting from improved home values and a reduction in incidents of default, as well as decreased net charge-offs in the
commercial portfolio due to improved credit quality and continued efforts to actively work out problem loans. The increase in
2012 was primarily due to the implementation of clarifying regulatory guidance on consumer loans and increased provision in the
commercial portfolio as TCF aggressively addressed credit issues. See ‘‘Consolidated Income Statement Analysis – Provision for
Credit Losses’’ in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis for further discussion.

Lending non-interest income totaled $168.4 million in 2013, up 21.6% from $138.5 million for 2012, which was up 36.8% from
$101.2 million in 2011. The increases were primarily due to gains on sales of auto finance and consumer real estate loans. See
‘‘Consolidated Income Statement Analysis – Non-Interest Income’’ in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis for further
discussion.

Lending non-interest expense totaled $401.3 million in 2013, up 9.3% from $367.2 million for 2012, which was up 15.3% from
$318.4 million in 2011. The increase in 2013 was primarily due to increased staff levels to support the continued growth of the
auto finance business and expenses related to higher commissions based on production results and performance incentives,
partially offset by reduced expenses related to fewer foreclosed consumer properties and a reduction in write-downs in balances
of  existing  foreclosed  real  estate  properties  as  a  result  of  improved  real  estate  property  values.  The  increase  in  2012  was
primarily due to the full year impact of the acquisition of the auto finance business acquired in late 2011 as well as increased
staffing levels to support the Bombardier Recreational Products, Inc. program in inventory finance.

Funding TCF’s  funding  is  primarily  derived  from  branch  banking  and  treasury  borrowings,  with  a  focus  on  building  and
maintaining quality customer relationships through free checking. Deposits are generated from consumers and small businesses
providing a source of low-cost funds and fee income. Borrowings may be used to offset reductions in deposits or to support
lending activities. Funding reported net income available to common stockholders of $17.3 million in 2013, compared with a net
loss available to common stockholders of $239.3 million and net income available to common stockholders of $77.8 million in
2012  and  2011,  respectively.  The  changes  from  2011  to  2012  and  2012  to  2013  were  primarily  due  to  the  balance  sheet
repositioning completed in the first quarter of 2012.

Funding net interest income for 2013 was $237.3 million, down 8.1% from $258.3 million for 2012, which was up 11.5% from
$231.6 million in 2011. The decrease in 2013 was primarily due to a reduction of interest income as a result of lower levels of
mortgage-backed securities. The increase in 2012 was primarily related to the reduced costs of borrowings resulting from the
balance sheet repositioning, partially offset by a reduction of interest income as a result of lower levels of mortgage-backed
securities.

Funding non-interest income totaled $235.2 million in 2013, down 30.6% from $338.9 million for 2012, which was down 6.0%
from $360.6 million in 2011. The decrease in 2013 was primarily due to higher gains on sales of securities during 2012 related to
the balance sheet repositioning, lower transaction activity and higher average checking account balances per customer, partially
offset by a larger account base. The decrease in 2012 was primarily due to lower banking fees and revenues related to changes in
our deposit product fee structure and the full year effect of the new regulations limiting interchange fees associated with our
debit card transactions.

Funding non-interest expense totaled $442.6 million in 2013, down 54.4% from $969.8 million for 2012, which was up 109.3%
from $463.4 million in 2011. The changes from 2011 to 2012 and 2012 to 2013 were primarily due to the loss on termination of
debt in connection with the balance sheet repositioning.

Consolidated Income Statement Analysis

Net Interest Income Net interest income, the difference between interest earned on loans and leases, investments and other
interest-earning assets (interest income), and interest paid on deposits and borrowings (interest expense), represented 66.5% of
TCF’s total revenue in 2013, 61.4% in 2012 and 61.2% in 2011. Net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets is
referred to as the net interest margin, expressed as a percentage. Net interest income and net interest margin are affected by
changes in prevailing short- and long-term interest rates, loan and deposit pricing strategies and competitive conditions, the
volume and the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the level of non-accrual loans and leases and other
real estate owned, and the impact of modified loans and leases.

(1) Changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the

change due to rate. Changes due to volume and rate are calculated independently for each line item presented.

Net interest income, including the impact of tax-equivalent adjustments of $3 million, was $805.6 million for 2013, an increase of
2.9% from $782.7 million in 2012, which was up 11.5% from $701.8 million in 2011. The increase in net interest income in 2013
was primarily driven by higher average loan and lease balances in the auto finance and inventory finance businesses as well as
the balance sheet repositioning which resulted in a reduction to the cost of borrowings, partially offset by a reduction of interest
income on lower levels of mortgage-backed securities. This increase was partially offset by downward pressure on yields across
the lending businesses in this low interest rate environment as well as lower average balances of commercial fixed-rate loans
due to run-off exceeding originations and lower average balances of consumer real estate loans driven by run-off in the first
mortgage real estate business and ongoing loan sales. The increase in net interest income in 2012 was primarily due to the
balance sheet repositioning completed in the first quarter of 2012. Additionally, net interest income increased due to higher
average loan balances in the auto finance, inventory finance, and leasing and equipment finance businesses, partially offset by
reduced interest income due to both lower yields and lower average balances of consumer real estate and commercial loans.

25

Net interest margin was 4.68%, 4.65% and 3.99% for 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in 2013 was primarily due
to the balance sheet repositioning, partially offset by downward pressure on origination yields in the lending businesses due to
the low interest rate environment as well as a shift in commercial real estate from higher yielding fixed-rate loans to lower
yielding  variable-rate  loans  due  to  marketplace  demand.  The  increase  in  2012  was  primarily  due  to  lower  average  cost  of
borrowings due to the effects of the balance sheet repositioning, partially offset by a reduction in interest income on mortgage-
backed securities and rate compression as the leasing and equipment finance and inventory finance portfolios re-priced in the
low rate environment.

Provision for Credit Losses The provision for credit losses is calculated as part of the determination of the allowance for loan
and lease losses which is a critical accounting estimate. TCF’s methodologies for determining and allocating the allowance for
loan and lease losses and the related provision for credit losses focus on historical trends in net charge-offs, delinquencies in the
loan and lease portfolio, value of collateral, general economic conditions and management’s assessment of credit risk in the
current loan and lease portfolio.

The following table summarizes the composition of TCF’s provision for credit losses for the years ended December 31, 2013,
2012 and 2011.

TCF provided $118.4 million for credit losses in 2013, compared with $247.4 million in 2012 and $200.8 million in 2011. The
decrease in provision expense during 2013 was primarily due to decreased net charge-offs in the consumer real estate portfolio
due to improved home values and a reduction in incidents of default, the decreased net charge-offs in the commercial portfolio
due  to  improved  credit  quality  and  continued  efforts  to  actively  work  out  problem  loans,  and  the  impact  of  the  clarifying
bankruptcy-related regulatory guidance related to consumer loans adopted in 2012. The increase in provision expense during
2012 was primarily due to $36.9 million related to the impact of clarifying bankruptcy-related regulatory guidance adopted in 2012
(see Consolidated Financial Condition Analysis – Credit Quality for a discussion about the bankruptcy-related guidance), and
increased provision in the commercial portfolio as TCF aggressively addressed non-accrual loans and leases and classified loans.

Net loan and lease charge-offs were $126.4 million, or .81% of average loans and leases, in 2013, compared with $233.8 million,
or 1.54% of average loans and leases, in 2012 and $211 million, or 1.45% of average loans and leases, in 2011. The 2013
decrease  was  primarily  due  to  improved  credit  quality  in  the  consumer  real  estate  portfolio  as  home  values  increased  and
incidents of default decreased, as well as improved credit quality in the commercial portfolio and continued efforts to actively
work out problem loans. The decrease was further driven by the impact of the clarifying bankruptcy-related regulatory guidance
adopted in 2012. The 2012 increase from 2011 was primarily driven by net charge-offs of $49.3 million in the consumer real
estate portfolio related to the impact of clarifying bankruptcy-related regulatory guidance previously discussed.

Also  see  ‘‘Consolidated  Financial  Condition  Analysis  –  Credit  Quality  –  Allowance  for  Loan  and  Lease  Losses’’  in  this

Non-Interest Income Non-interest income is a significant source of revenue for TCF, representing 33.5%, 38.6% and 38.8%
of total revenues in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and is an important factor in TCF’s results of operations. Fees and other
revenue were $403.1 million for 2013, compared with $388.2 million and $437.2 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively. The

Fees  and  Service  Charges Banking  and  service  fees  totaled  $166.6  million  in  2013,  compared  with  $178  million  and
$219.4 million for 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease in 2013 was primarily due to lower transaction activity and higher
average checking account balances per customer, partially offset by a larger account base. The decrease in 2012 was primarily
due to the elimination of the monthly maintenance fee with the reintroduction of free checking in the second quarter of 2012 and
a lower number of accounts.

Card  Revenue Card  revenue,  primarily  interchange  fees,  totaled  $51.9  million  in  2013,  compared  with  $52.6  million  and
$96.1 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease in 2013 was primarily due to lower card transaction volume. The
decrease in 2012 was primarily due to a decrease in the average interchange rate per transaction as a result of the Durbin
Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act, which took effect during the fourth quarter of 2011.

TCF is the 14th largest issuer of Visa consumer debit cards and the 13th largest issuer of Visa small business debit cards in the
United States, based on payment volume for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as provided by Visa. TCF earns
interchange  revenue  from  customer  card  transactions  paid  primarily  by  merchants,  not  TCF’s  customers.  Card  revenue
represented  21.5%,  20.7%  and  28%  of  banking  fee  revenue  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2013,  2012  and  2011,
respectively.

Gains on Sales of Auto Loans TCF sold $795.3 million of auto loans and recognized $29.7 million in associated gains during
2013, compared to sales of $536.7 million and $37.4 million of auto loans with recognized associated gains of $22.1 million and
$1.1 million during 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increases in sales were primarily due to the continued growth of the auto
finance business as TCF continues to sell a percentage of its originations each quarter.

Gains on Sales of Consumer Real Estate Loans TCF sold $763.1 million and $161.8 million of consumer real estate loans and
recognized gains of $21.7 million and $5.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. There were no
sales of consumer real estate loans during the year ended December 31, 2011.

Other Non-Interest Income Total other non-interest income totaled $18.5 million in 2013, compared with $13.2 million and
$3.4 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in 2013 was primarily due to higher servicing fee income related to the
continued growth of the auto finance managed loans portfolio. The increase in 2012 was primarily driven by servicing fee income
related to the full year impact of the acquisition of the auto finance business acquired in late 2011 and growth in the auto finance
managed loans portfolio.

Gains  on  Securities,  Net During  the  years  ended  December  31,  2013,  2012  and  2011,  TCF  recognized  $964  thousand,
$102.2 million and $7.3 million, respectively, in gains related to sales of securities primarily driven by the sales of mortgage-
backed securities. The gains in 2012 include $90.2 million related to sales of mortgage-backed securities (including a pre-tax net
gain of $77 million as a result of the balance sheet repositioning) and a pre-tax net gain of $13.1 million as a result of the sale of

Non-Interest Expense Non-interest expense decreased $517.3 million, or 38%, in 2013, increased $598.1 million, or 78.2%,
in 2012, and increased $8.1 million, or 1.1%, in 2011. The changes from 2011 to 2012 and 2012 to 2013 were primarily due to the
loss on termination of debt in connection with the balance sheet repositioning. The following table presents the components of
non-interest expense.

Compensation and Employee Benefits Compensation and employee benefits expense totaled $429.2 million, $393.8 million
and $348.8 million during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in 2013 was primarily due to increased staff levels to
support the growth of auto finance and expenses related to higher commissions based on production results and performance
incentives. The increase in 2012 was primarily due to the impact of the acquisition of the auto finance business acquired in late
2011 and increased staffing levels to support growth in the inventory finance business.

FDIC Insurance Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (‘‘FDIC’’) premium expense totaled $32.1 million, $30.4 million and
$28.7 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in 2013 was primarily due to a higher overall assessment base.
The increase in 2012 was primarily the result of changes in the FDIC insurance rate calculations for banks with over $10 billion in
total assets, implemented in April 2011.

Advertising,  Marketing  and  Deposit  Account  Premiums Advertising  and  marketing  expenses  increased  to  $19.1  million  in
2013,  compared  with  $16.6  million  in  2012  and  $10  million  in  2011.  Deposit  account  premiums  expense  decreased  to
$2.3 million in 2013, compared with $8.7 million in 2012 and $22.9 million in 2011. The increases in advertising and marketing
expenses and the decreases in deposit account premiums for 2013 and 2012 are attributable to TCF’s shift in checking account
acquisition strategy with the reintroduction of free checking, which replaced the use of deposit account premiums and focused
on advertising the free checking product.

Other  Non-Interest  Expense Other  non-interest  expense  totaled  $167.8  million  in  2013,  compared  to  $163.9  million  and
$145.5 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in 2013 was primarily due to an increase in regulatory compliance
costs and increased loan and lease processing expense in the consumer real estate and auto finance businesses. The 2012
increase  was  primarily  due  to  a  $10  million  accrual  for  the  civil  money  penalty  assessed  pursuant  to  previously  disclosed
deficiencies in TCF’s Bank Secrecy Act compliance program.

Loss on Termination of Debt
In connection with the balance sheet repositioning, TCF restructured $3.6 billion of long-term
borrowings that had a 4.3% weighted average rate, at a pre-tax loss of $550.7 million. As part of the debt restructuring, TCF
replaced  $2.1  billion  of  4.4%  weighted  average  fixed  rate,  FHLB  advances  with  a  mix  of  floating  and  fixed-rate,  long-  and
short-term borrowings with a current weighted average rate of .5%, terminated $1.5 billion of 4.2% weighted average fixed-rate
borrowings under repurchase agreements, and sold $1.9 billion of mortgage-backed securities at a pre-tax gain of $77 million.

Branch Realignment TCF executed a realignment of its retail banking system to support its strategic initiatives, which resulted
in a pre-tax charge of $8.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. The consolidation of 37 branches in Illinois and nine branches in
Minnesota (eight in-store branches and one traditional branch) is expected to occur in March 2014. The ongoing benefit of this
branch realignment is expected to exceed the pre-tax charges, together with the estimated financial impact of related ongoing
account attrition, in less than 12 months.

Foreclosed Real Estate and Repossessed Assets, Net Foreclosed real estate and repossessed assets expense, net totaled
$28 million in 2013, compared to $41.4 million in 2012 and $49.2 million in 2011. The decrease in 2013 was primarily due to
reduced expenses related to fewer foreclosed consumer properties primarily driven by a portfolio sale during the first quarter of
2013,  a  decrease  in  additions  to  foreclosed  consumer  properties,  and  lower  write-downs  to  existing  foreclosed  real  estate
properties as a result of improved real estate property values. The decrease in 2012 was primarily due to lower write-downs on
consumer real estate properties as a result of a decrease in the number of properties owned and the associated expenses.

Income Taxes Income tax expense represented 34.7% of income before income tax expense in 2013, compared with income
tax benefit of 39.1% of loss before income tax benefit in 2012 and income tax expense of 36% of income before income tax
expense in 2011. The lower effective income tax rate for 2013 compared with 2011 is primarily due to the 2013 decision to
indefinitely reinvest foreign earnings. The higher effective income tax rate for 2012 was primarily due to the 2012 pre-tax loss
compared with pre-tax income in 2011 and 2013.

Consolidated Financial  Condition Analysis

Securities Available for Sale Securities available for sale were $551.1 million, or 3% of total assets, at December 31, 2013, as
compared to $712.1 million, or 3.9% of total assets, at December 31, 2012. TCF’s securities available for sale portfolio primarily
consists of fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation. Net unrealized pre-tax losses on securities available for sale totaled $43 million at December 31,
2013,  compared  with  net  unrealized  pre-tax  gains  of  $18.8  million  at  December  31,  2012.  During  2013,  TCF  transferred
$9.3 million in available for sale mortgage-backed securities to held to maturity, reflecting TCF’s intent to hold those securities to
maturity. During March 2012, as part of TCF’s balance sheet repositioning, the Company sold $1.9 billion of U.S. government-
sponsored mortgage-backed securities at a gain of $77 million. TCF may, from time to time, sell treasury and agency securities
and utilize the proceeds to reduce borrowings, fund growth in loans and leases or for other corporate purposes.

Consumer  Real  Estate TCF’s  consumer  real  estate  loan  portfolio  represented  40%  of  its  total  loan  and  lease  portfolio  at
December  31,  2013,  down  3.3%  from  43.3%  at  December  31,  2012.  TCF’s  consumer  real  estate  portfolio  is  secured  by
mortgages on residential real estate. At December 31, 2013, 59.4% of loan balances were secured by first mortgages and 40.6%
were secured by second mortgages with an average loan size of $111 thousand secured by first mortgages and $43 thousand
secured by second mortgages. At December 31, 2013, 44.2% of the consumer real estate portfolio carried a variable interest
rate tied to the prime rate, compared with 40.7% at December 31, 2012.

At December 31, 2013, 63.7% of TCF’s consumer real estate loan balance consisted of closed-end loans, compared with 68.1%
at December 31, 2012. TCF’s closed-end consumer real estate loans require payments of principal and interest over a fixed term.
The  average  home  value,  which  is  based  on  original  appraisal  value,  was  $319  thousand  as  of  December  31,  2013.  At
December 31, 2013 and 2012, 87% and 93.3% of TCF’s consumer real estate loans were in TCF’s primary banking markets.
TCF’s consumer real estate lines of credit require regular payments of interest and do not currently require regular payments of
principal. The average Fair Isaac Corporation (‘‘FICO(cid:4)’’) credit score at loan origination for the retail lending portfolio was 723 as of
December 31, 2013, and 729 as of December 31, 2012. As part of TCF’s credit risk monitoring, TCF obtains updated FICO score
information  quarterly.  The  average  updated  FICO  score  for  the  retail  lending  portfolio  was  717  at  December  31,  2013  and
727 December 31, 2012.

TCF’s consumer real estate underwriting standards are intended to produce adequately secured loans to customers with good
credit scores at the origination date. Beginning in 2008, TCF generally has not made new loans in excess of 90% loan-to-value
(‘‘LTV’’) at origination. TCF did not originate or purchase from brokers 2/28 adjustable-rate mortgages (‘‘ARM’’) or Option ARM
loans. TCF also has not originated consumer real estate loans with multiple payment options or loans with ‘‘teaser’’ interest
rates. However, loans at lower LTV ratios have been originated to borrowers with FICO scores below 620 in the normal course of
lending  to  customers.  At  December  31,  2013,  43.1%  of  the  consumer  real  estate  loan  balance  had  been  originated  since
January 1, 2009 with net charge-offs of .2%. TCF’s consumer real estate portfolio is subject to the risk of falling home values and
to the general economic environment, particularly unemployment.

At  December  31,  2013,  total  consumer  real  estate  lines  of  credit  outstanding  were  $2.5  billion,  up  from  $2.4  billion  at
December 31, 2012. Outstanding balances on consumer real estate lines of credit were 66.5% of total lines of credit in 2013
compared to 65.6% in 2012. Home equity lines of credit were $2.3 billion at December 31, 2013, of which 10.2% will reach
maturity or draw period end prior to 2021.

31

Commercial  Lending Commercial  real  estate  loans  decreased  $337.2  million  from  December  31,  2012  to  $2.7  billion  at
December  31,  2013.  Variable  and  adjustable-rate  loans  represented  45.7%  of  commercial  real  estate  loans  outstanding  at
December  31,  2013,  compared  with  40%  at  December  31,  2012.  Commercial  business  loans  increased  $80.4  million  to
$404.7 million at December 31, 2013. The overall decrease in commercial lending was due to run-off exceeding new originations
as well as continued efforts to actively work out problem loans. With an emphasis on secured lending, 99% of TCF’s commercial
real estate and commercial business loans were secured either by properties or other business assets at both December 31,
2013 and 2012. As of December 31, 2013, 88.7% of TCF’s commercial real estate loans outstanding were secured by properties
located in its primary banking markets, compared with 90.8% as of December 31, 2012.

The  leasing  and  equipment  finance  portfolio  was  $3.4  billion  at  December  31,  2013,  compared  with  $3.2  billion  as  of
December 31, 2012, and consisted of $1.9 billion of leases and $1.5 billion of loans. Loan and lease originations for leasing and
equipment finance totaled $1.7 billion for 2013, an increase of 2% from 2012. The uninstalled backlog of approved transactions
was $454.4 million at December 31, 2013, compared with $443.1 million at December 31, 2012. The average size of transactions
originated during 2013 was $115 thousand, compared with $106 thousand during 2012. TCF’s leasing and equipment finance
activity is subject to risk of cyclical downturns and other adverse economic developments. In an adverse economic environment,
there may be a decline in the demand for some types of equipment, resulting in a decline in the amount of new equipment being
placed into service as well as a decline in equipment values for equipment previously placed in service. Declines in the value of
leased equipment increase the potential for impairment losses and credit losses due to diminished collateral value, and may
result  in  lower  sales-type  revenue  at  the  end  of  the  contractual  lease  term.  See  Note  1  of  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial
Statements – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Policies Related to Critical Accounting Policies for information on
lease accounting.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, $68.5 million and $63.9 million, respectively, of TCF’s lease portfolio was discounted with third-
party  financial  institutions  on  a  non-recourse  basis,  which  is  recorded  in  long-term  borrowings.  The  leasing  and  equipment
finance portfolio tables above present lease residuals including lease residuals related to non-recourse debt. Lease residuals
represent the estimated fair value of the leased equipment at the expiration of the initial term of the transaction and are reviewed
on an ongoing basis. Any downward revisions in estimated fair value are recorded to expense in the periods in which they
become known. At December 31, 2013, lease residuals totaled $108.2 million, or 9.07% of original equipment value, including
$15.2  million  related  to  non-recourse  sales,  compared  with  $118  million,  or  9.74%  of  original  equipment  value,  including
$14.8 million related to non-recourse sales at December 31, 2012.

Inventory finance continued to expand its core programs during 2013, with an increase in the total portfolio to $1.7 billion, or
10.5%  of  total  loans  and  leases,  at  December  31,  2013,  compared  with  $1.6  billion,  or  10.2%  at  December  31,  2012.  The
increase  was  primarily  due  to  continued  growth  in  new  dealer  relationships  within  the  other  industries  segment.  Inventory
finance originations decreased to $5.1 billion in 2013 compared to $5.2 billion in 2012.

Auto Finance TCF’s auto finance loan portfolio represented 7.8% of TCF’s total loan and lease portfolio at December 31, 2013,
compared  with  3.6%  at  December  31,  2012.  The  auto  finance  portfolio  increased  significantly  in  2013  to  $1.2  billion  from
$552.8 million at December 31, 2012, due to continued growth as TCF expands the number of active dealers in its network by
expanding its sales force in existing territories. As of December 31, 2013, the auto finance network included nearly 8,500 active
dealers in 45 states, compared with nearly 6,200 active dealers in 43 states as of December 31, 2012. The auto finance portfolio
consisted of 23.3% new car loans and 76.7% used car loans at December 31, 2013. Auto finance also increased its portfolio of
managed loans, which includes portfolio loans, loans held for sale, and loans sold and serviced for others, to $2.4 billion at
December 31, 2013, from $1.3 billion at December 31, 2012.

Credit  Quality The  following  tables  summarize  TCF’s  loan  and  lease  portfolio  based  on  what  TCF  believes  are  the  most
important credit quality data that should be used to understand the overall condition of the portfolio. Accruing classified loans and
leases have well-defined weaknesses, but may never become non-accrual or result in a loss. The following items should be
considered throughout the credit quality section.

(cid:127) Within the performing loans and leases, TCF classifies customers within regulatory classification guidelines. Loans and
leases that are ‘‘classified’’ are loans or leases that management has concerns regarding the ability of the borrowers to
meet existing loan or lease terms and conditions, but may never become non-performing or result in a loss.

(cid:127) Loans that are 60+ days delinquent have a higher potential to become non-performing and generally are a leading indicator

for future charge-off trends.

(cid:127) Troubled debt restructurings (‘‘TDRs’’) are loans to troubled borrowers that have been modified such that TCF has granted

a concession in terms to improve the likelihood of collection of all principal and modified interest owed.

(cid:127) Non-accrual loans and leases have been charged down to the estimated fair value of the collateral less selling costs, or

reserved for expected loss upon workout.

33

Included in Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and Credit Quality
Information, are disclosures of loans considered to be ‘‘impaired’’ for accounting purposes. Consumer real estate TDR loans are
evaluated  separately  in  TCF’s  allowance  methodology.  Commercial  TDR  loans  are  individually  evaluated  for  impairment.
Impairment is based upon the present value of the expected future cash flows or for collateral dependent loans at the fair value of
collateral less selling expense; however, if payment or satisfaction of the loan is dependent on the operation, rather than the sale,
of  the  collateral,  the  impairment  does  not  include  selling  costs.  Impaired  loans  comprise  a  portion  of  non-accrual  loans  and
accruing  TDR  loans  and  therefore  are  not  additive  to  the  information  in  the  table  below.  Impaired  loan  accounting  policies
prescribe specific methodologies for determining a portion of the allowance for loan and lease losses. Loan modifications to
troubled borrowers are not reported as TDR loans in the calendar years after modification if the loans were modified with an
interest rate equal to or greater than the yields of new loan originations with comparable risk at the time of restructuring, and if
the loan is performing based on the restructured terms; however, these loans are still considered impaired and follow TCF’s
impaired  loan  reserve  policies.  In  addition,  TCF  has  modified  certain  loans  and  leases  to  troubled  borrowers  which  are  not
considered TDR loans because a concession was not granted. These other modified loans and leases totaled $10 million and
$6.1 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The following table provides a summary of accruing loans and leases by portfolio and regulatory classification, non-accrual loans
and leases by portfolio, and other key credit statistics.

The  combined  balance  of  accruing  classified  loans  and  leases  and  non-accrual  loans  and  leases  was  $562.5  million  at
December 31, 2013, a decrease of $185.2 million from December 31, 2012, primarily in the commercial and consumer real
estate portfolios. The decrease was due to continued efforts to actively work out commercial loans, the sale of $40.5 million of
non-accrual consumer real estate loans during the second quarter of 2013, and fewer loans entering non-accrual status due to
improved credit quality, partially offset by $48.6 million of delinquent loans entering non-accrual status due to a change in the
non-accrual policy for consumer real estate loans during the third quarter of 2013. See Note 1 of Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for information on the non-accrual loans policy.

TCF  modifies  loans  through  forgiveness  of  interest  or  reductions  in  interest  rates,  extension  of  payment  dates,  or  term
extensions with reduction of contractual payments, but generally not through reductions of principal.

If TCF has not granted a concession as a result of the modification, compared with the original terms, the loan is not considered a
TDR loan. Modifications involving a concession that are not classified as TDR loans primarily include interest rate changes to
current market rates for similarly situated borrowers who have access to alternative funds. Loan modifications to borrowers who
are not experiencing financial difficulties are not included in the previous reporting of loan modifications. Loan modifications to
troubled borrowers are not reported as TDR loans in the calendar years after modification if the loans were modified to an interest
rate equal to or greater than the yields of new loan originations with comparable risk at the time of restructuring and the loan is
performing based on the restructured terms.

36

Under consumer real estate programs, TCF typically reduces a customer’s contractual payments for a period of time appropriate
for the borrower’s financial condition. Due to clarifying bankruptcy-related regulatory guidance adopted in the third quarter of
2012, loans discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy where the borrower did not reaffirm the debt are reported as non-accrual TDR
loans  as  a  result  of  the  removal  of  the  borrower’s  personal  liability  on  the  loan.  Although  loans  classified  as  TDR  loans  are
considered impaired, TCF received more than 47% of the original contractual interest due on accruing consumer real estate TDR
loans during the year ended 2013, respectively, by modifying the loan to a qualified customer instead of foreclosing on the
property.  At  December  31,  2013,  1.4%  of  accruing  consumer  real  estate  TDR  loans  were  more  than  60-days  delinquent,
compared with 5.7% at December 31, 2012. Approximately 7.4% of the $202.3 million of accruing consumer real estate TDR
loans  modified  within  the  24  months  preceding  December  31,  2013,  defaulted  during  2013.  TCF  considers  a  loan  to  have
defaulted when it becomes 90 or more days delinquent under the modified terms, has been transferred to non-accrual status
subsequent to the modification or has been transferred to other real estate owned.

Commercial loans that are 90 or more days past due and not well secured at the time of modification remain on non-accrual
status.  Regardless  of  whether  contractual  principal  and  interest  payments  are  well-secured  at  the  time  of  modification,
equipment finance loans that are 90 or more days past due remain on non-accrual status. All loans modified when on non-accrual
status continue to be reported as non-accrual loans until there is sustained repayment performance for six consecutive months.
At December 31, 2013, 82.2% of total commercial TDR loans were accruing and TCF recognized more than 90% of the original
contractual interest due on accruing commercial TDR loans during 2013. At December 31, 2013, all accruing commercial TDR
loans were current and performing. Approximately 3.3% of the $168.9 million accruing commercial TDR loans modified within
the 24 months preceding December 31, 2013, defaulted during 2013.

A commercial loan may be modified through a term extension with a reduction of contractual payments or a change in interest
rate. Commercial loan modifications which are not classified as TDR loans primarily involve loans on which interest rates were
modified to current market rates for similarly situated borrowers who have access to alternative funds or on which TCF received
additional collateral or loan conditions. Reserves for losses on accruing commercial TDR loans were $6.3 million, or 5.2% of the
outstanding balance, at December 31, 2013, and $1.5 million, or 1% of the outstanding balance, at December 31, 2012.

TCF utilizes a multiple note structure as a workout alternative for certain commercial loans, which restructures a troubled loan
into two notes. When utilizing this multiple note structure, the first note is always classified as a TDR loan. Under TCF policy, the
first note is established at an amount and with market terms that provide reasonable assurance of payment and performance. If
the  loan  was  modified  at  an  interest  rate  equal  to  the  yield  of  a  new  loan  origination  with  comparable  risk  at  the  time  of
restructuring and the loan is performing based on the terms of the restructuring agreement, this note may be removed from TDR
loan classification in the calendar year after modification. This note is reported on accrual status if the loan has been formally
restructured  so  as  to  be  reasonably  assured  of  payment  and  performance  according  to  its  modified  terms.  This  evaluation
includes consideration of the customer’s payment performance for a reasonable period of at least six consecutive months, which
may include time prior to the restructuring, before the loan is returned to accrual status. The second note is charged-off. This
second note is a separate and distinct legal contract and may still be outstanding with the borrower. In those cases, should the
borrower’s financial position improve, the loan may become recoverable. At December 31, 2013, ten TDR loans restructured as
multiple notes with a combined total contractual balance of $38.8 million and a remaining book balance of $23.5 million are
included in the preceding table.

For additional information regarding TCF’s loan modifications refer to Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements –
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and Credit Quality Information.

Non-accrual loans and leases at December 31, 2013 decreased $102.4 million, or 27%, from December 31, 2012, primarily due
to continued efforts to actively work out commercial loans, the sale of $40.5 million of non-accrual consumer real estate loans
during the second quarter of 2013 and improved credit quality in the commercial and consumer real estate portfolios resulting in
fewer loans entering non-accrual status, partially offset by a change in the consumer real estate non-accrual policy during the
third quarter of 2013.

Consumer real estate loans are generally placed on non-accrual status once they become 90 days past due and charged-off to the
estimated  fair  value  of  underlying  collateral,  less  estimated  selling  costs,  no  later  than  150  days  past  due.  Auto  loans  are
generally charged-off to the fair value of the collateral, less estimated selling costs, upon entering non-accrual status no later than
120 days past due. Any necessary additional reserves are established for commercial loans, leasing and equipment finance loans
and leases, and inventory finance loans when reported as non-accrual. Most of TCF’s non-accrual loans and past due loans are
secured by real estate. Given the nature of these assets and the related mortgage foreclosure, property sale and, if applicable,
mortgage insurance claims processes, it can take 18 months or longer for a loan to migrate from initial delinquency to final
disposition. This resolution process generally takes much longer for loans secured by real estate than for unsecured loans or
loans secured by other property primarily due to state real estate foreclosure laws.

Additions  to  non-accrual  loans  and  leases  decreased  $233.4  million,  charge-offs  of  non-accrual  loans  and  leases  decreased
$52.7  million,  non-accrual  loans  and  leases  that  returned  to  accrual  status  decreased  $43.6  million,  payments  received  on
non-accrual loan and leases increased $24.1 million and non-accrual loans and leases transferred to other assets decreased
$19 million in 2013 compared with 2012. These changes were primarily driven by a more aggressive workout approach in the
commercial portfolio and improved credit quality in the consumer real estate portfolio as home values improved and incident
rates of default declined.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses The determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses is a critical accounting
estimate. TCF’s methodologies for determining and allocating the allowance for loan and lease losses focus on historical trends
in  net  charge-offs,  delinquencies  in  the  loan  and  lease  portfolio,  value  of  collateral,  general  economic  conditions  and
management’s assessment of credit risk in the current loan and lease portfolio. The various factors used in the methodologies
are reviewed on a periodic basis.

The Company considers the allowance for loan and lease losses of $252.2 million appropriate to cover losses incurred in the loan
and lease portfolios at December 31, 2013. However, no assurance can be given that TCF will not, in any particular period, sustain
loan and lease losses that are sizable in relation to the amount reserved, or that subsequent evaluations of the loan and lease
portfolio, in light of factors then prevailing, including economic conditions, TCF’s ongoing credit review process or regulatory
requirements, will not require significant changes in the balance of the allowance for loan and lease losses. Among other factors,
a continued economic slowdown, increasing levels of unemployment and/or a decline in commercial or residential real estate
values in TCF’s markets may have an adverse impact on the current adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses by
increasing credit risk and the risk of potential loss.

39

The total allowance for loan and lease losses is generally available to absorb losses from any segment of the portfolio. The
allocation of TCF’s allowance for loan and lease losses disclosed in the following table is subject to change based on changes in
the criteria used to evaluate the allowance and is not necessarily indicative of the trend of future losses in any particular portfolio.

In conjunction with Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and Credit
Quality Information, the following table includes detailed information regarding TCF’s allowance for loan and lease losses.

At December 31, 2013, the allowance as a percent of total loans and leases decreased to 1.59% compared with 1.73% at
December  31,  2012.  The  decrease  in  allowance  for  loan  and  lease  losses  was  primarily  driven  by  reduced  reserves  in  the
commercial portfolio as a result of increased net charge-offs from continued efforts to actively work out problem loans and lower
reserve balances in the leasing and equipment finance portfolios as a result of reduced loss experience, partially offset by an
increase in reserve balance as a result of growth in the auto finance portfolio.

Consumer  real  estate  net  charge-offs  during  2013  decreased  $90.3  million  from  2012.  The  decrease  was  primarily  due  to
additional net charge-offs of $49.3 million related to the impact of bankruptcy-related regulatory guidance adopted in 2012, as
well as improved portfolio performance as a result of increasing residential real estate values and a reduction in incidents of
default. During 2013, commercial net charge-offs decreased $12.7 million from 2012 primarily due to improved credit quality
along with continued efforts to actively work out problem loans. During 2013, leasing and equipment finance net charge-offs
decreased $6.9 million from 2012.

Total consumer real estate properties reported in other real estate owned included 336 owned properties and 143 foreclosed
properties subject to redemption at December 31, 2013, compared with 418 owned properties and 221 foreclosed properties
subject  to  redemption  at  December  31,  2012.  The  decrease  in  owned  properties  during  2013  resulted  from  sales  of  902
properties (including a portfolio sale of 184 consumer properties) offset by the addition of 820 properties. The average length of
time to sell consumer real estate properties during 2013 was approximately 5.3 months from the date the properties were listed
for sale.

Transfers into other real estate owned decreased by $22.2 million in 2013, compared with 2012. Sales of other real estate owned
decreased by $29.1 million in 2013, compared with 2012. Write-downs of consumer other real estate owned decreased by
$3.7 million as a result of stabilization in home values in most of TCF’s markets and a decrease in the number of properties
owned.

Liquidity Management TCF manages its liquidity position to ensure that the funding needs of depositors and borrowers are
met promptly and in a cost-effective manner. Asset liquidity arises from the ability to convert assets to cash as well as from the
maturity of assets. Liability liquidity results from the ability of TCF to maintain a diverse set of funding sources to promptly meet
funding requirements.

The TCF Asset/Liability Management Committee (‘‘ALCO’’) and the Finance Committee of the TCF Financial Board of Directors
have  each  adopted  a  Liquidity  Management  Policy  to  direct  management  of  the  Company’s  liquidity  risk,  see  ‘‘Item  7A.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk’’ for more information.

42

TCF Bank had $550 million and $712 million of interest-bearing deposits at the Federal Reserve at December 31, 2013 and 2012,
respectively.  Interest-bearing  deposits  held  at  the  Federal  Reserve  and  unencumbered  securities  were  $1.1  billion  and
$1.4 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Deposits  are  the  primary  source  of  TCF’s  funds  for  use  in  lending  and  for  other  general  business  purposes.  In  addition  to
deposits, TCF derives funds from loan and lease repayments, loan sales, and borrowings. Deposit inflows and outflows are
significantly influenced by general interest rates, money market conditions, competition for funds, customer service and other
factors. TCF’s deposit inflows and outflows have been and will continue to be affected by these factors. Borrowings may be used
to compensate for reductions in normal sources of funds, such as deposit inflows at less than projected levels, net deposit
outflows or to fund balance sheet growth. Historically, TCF has borrowed primarily from the FHLB of Des Moines, institutional
sources under repurchase agreements and other sources. Lending activities are the primary use of TCF’s funds, such lending
activities primarily include loan originations and purchases, purchases of equipment for lease financing.

ALCO and the Finance Committee of the TCF Financial Board of Directors have adopted a Holding Company Investment and
Liquidity Management Policy, which establishes the minimum amount of cash or liquid investments TCF Financial will hold, see
‘‘Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk’’ for more information. TCF Financial had cash and liquid
investments of $62 million and $84 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The primary source of funding for TCF Commercial Finance Canada (‘‘TCFCFC’’) is a line of credit with TCF Bank. Primarily for
contingency purposes, TCFCFC maintains a $20 million Canadian dollar-denominated line of credit facility with a counterparty,
which is guaranteed by TCF Bank.

Deposits Deposits totaled $14.4 billion at December 31, 2013, an increase of $382 million, or 2.7%, from December 31, 2012,
primarily due to checking account growth and special programs for certificates of deposit.

Checking, savings and money market deposits are an important source of low interest-cost funds and fee income for TCF. These
deposits totaled $12 billion at December 31, 2013, up $247.1 million from December 31, 2012, and comprised 83.2% of total
deposits at December 31, 2013, compared with 83.7% of total deposits at December 31, 2012. The average balance of these
deposits for 2013 was $11.8 billion, an increase of $407.3 million over the $11.4 billion average balance for 2012.

Certificates of deposit totaled $2.4 billion at December 31, 2013, and $2.3 billion at December 31, 2012.

Non-interest  bearing  deposits  represented  18.3%  of  total  deposits  at  December  31,  2013,  compared  with  17.7%  at
December  31,  2012.  TCF’s  weighted-average  rate  for  deposits,  including  non-interest  bearing  deposits,  was  .24%  at
December 31, 2013, compared with .33% at December 31, 2012. The decrease in the weighted-average rate for deposits is
primarily due to reduced interest rates on savings accounts.

Borrowings Borrowings totaled $1.5 billion and $1.9 billion at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The
weighted-average  rate  on  borrowings  was  1.41%  at  December  31,  2013,  compared  with  1.42%  at  December  31,  2012.
Historically, TCF has borrowed primarily from the FHLB of Des Moines, from institutional sources under repurchase agreements
and from other sources. At December 31, 2013, TCF had $2.2 billion of unused, secured borrowing capacity at the FHLB of Des
Moines.

On June 17, 2013, TCF Bank redeemed at par $71 million aggregate outstanding balance of its subordinated notes due 2014.
There  were  no  remaining  discounts  or  deferred  fees  associated  with  the  notes  and,  as  a  result,  there  was  no  gain  or  loss
associated with the redemption. Effective June 15, 2013, the subordinated notes due 2014 no longer qualified for treatment as
Tier 2 or supplementary capital.

The  $50  million  of  subordinated  notes  due  2015  re-price  quarterly  at  the  three-month  LIBOR  rate  plus  1.56%.  These
subordinated notes may be redeemed by TCF Bank at par once per quarter at TCF Bank’s discretion. In January 2014, TCF gave
notice of its intention to redeem the aggregate principal amount of these subordinated notes on March 17, 2014, at which time
the subordinated notes due 2015 will no longer qualify for treatment as Tier 2 or supplementary capital.

See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Long-Term Borrowings, for additional information regarding TCF’s
long-term borrowings.

(1) Includes accrued interest and future contractual interest obligations on borrowings and time deposits.

Unrecognized tax benefits, projected benefit obligations, demand deposits with indeterminate maturities and discretionary credit
facilities which do not obligate the Company to lend have been excluded from the contractual obligations table above.

Campus marketing agreements consist of fixed or minimum obligations for exclusive marketing and naming rights with seven
campuses. TCF is obligated to make various annual payments for these rights in the form of royalties and scholarships through
2029. TCF also has various renewal options, which may extend the terms of these agreements. Campus marketing agreements
are an important element of TCF’s campus banking strategy.

Commitments  to  extend  credit  are  agreements  to  lend  to  a  customer  provided  there  is  no  violation  of  any  condition  in  the
contract. These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a
fee. Since certain of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. Collateral to secure any funding of these commitments predominantly consists
of residential and commercial real estate.

Standby letters of credit and guarantees on industrial revenue bonds are conditional commitments issued by TCF guaranteeing
the performance of a customer to a third party. These conditional commitments expire in various years through 2017. Collateral
held consists primarily of commercial real estate mortgages. Since the conditions under which TCF is required to fund these
commitments may not materialize, the cash requirements are expected to be less than the total outstanding commitments.

Capital Management

TCF  is  committed  to  managing  capital  to  maintain  protection  for  depositors  and  creditors.  TCF  employs  a  variety  of  capital
management tools to achieve its capital goals, including, but not limited to, dividends, public offerings of preferred and common
stock, common share repurchases, and the issuance or redemption of trust preferred securities, subordinated debt and other
capital instruments. TCF maintains a Capital Plan and Dividend Policy which applies to TCF Financial and incorporates TCF Bank’s
Capital Adequacy Plan and Dividend Policy. These policies ensure that capital strategy actions, including the addition of new
capital, if needed, and/or the declaration of preferred stock, common stock or bank dividends, are prudent, efficient, and provide
value to TCF’s stockholders, while ensuring that past and prospective earnings retention is consistent with TCF’s capital needs,
asset  quality,  and  overall  financial  condition.  TCF’s  capital  levels  are  managed  in  such  a  manner  that  all  regulatory  capital
requirements for well-capitalized banks and bank holding companies are exceeded.

44

Preferred Stock At December 31, 2013, there were 6,900,000 depositary shares outstanding, each representing a 1/1,000th
interest in a share of the Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock of TCF Financial Corporation, par value $.01 per
share, with a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share (‘‘Series A Preferred Stock’’). Dividends are payable on the Series A
Preferred  Stock  if,  as  and  when  declared  by  TCF’s  Board  of  Directors  on  a  non-cumulative  basis  on  March  1,  June  1,
September 1, and December 1 of each year, at a per annum rate of 7.5%. At December 31, 2013, there were 4,000,000 shares
outstanding of 6.45% Series B Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock of TCF Financial Corporation, par value $.01 per share,
with a liquidation preference of $25 per share (‘‘Series B Preferred Stock’’). Dividends are payable on the Series B Preferred
Stock if, as and when declared by TCF’s Board of Directors on a non-cumulative basis on March 1, June 1, September 1, and
December 1 of each year, at a per annum rate of 6.45%.

Equity Total equity at December 31, 2013 was $2 billion, or 10.69% of total assets, compared with $1.9 billion, or 10.3% of total
assets, at December 31, 2012. Dividends to common stockholders on a per share basis totaled 5 cents for each of the quarters
ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. TCF’s common dividend payout ratio was 22.99% and 34% for the quarters
ended  December  31,  2013  and  2012,  respectively.  TCF  Financial’s  primary  funding  sources  for  dividends  are  earnings  and
dividends received from TCF Bank.

At  December  31,  2013,  TCF  had  5.4  million  shares  remaining  in  its  stock  repurchase  program  authorized  by  its  Board  of
Directors, but would need approval from the Federal Reserve before repurchasing stock pursuant to this authorization.

Tangible  realized  common  equity  at  December  31,  2013  was  $1.5  billion,  or  8.18%  of  total  tangible  assets,  compared  with
$1.4 billion, or 7.52% of total tangible assets, at December 31, 2012. Tangible realized common equity is not a generally accepted
accounting principle in the United States (‘‘GAAP’’) financial measure (i.e., non-GAAP) and represents total equity less preferred
shares, goodwill, other intangible assets, accumulated other comprehensive income and non-controlling interest in subsidiaries.
Tangible  assets  represent  total  assets  less  goodwill  and  other  intangible  assets.  When  evaluating  capital  adequacy  and
utilization, management considers financial measures such as tangible realized common equity to tangible assets and the Tier 1
common capital ratio. These measures are non-GAAP financial measures and are viewed by management as useful indicators of
capital levels available to withstand unexpected market or economic conditions, and also provide investors, regulators, and other
users with information to be viewed in relation to other banking institutions.

The following table is a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures of tangible realized common equity and tangible assets
to the GAAP measures of total equity and total assets.

11.09% of risk-weighted assets at December 31, 2012. Tier 1 common capital at December 31, 2013, was $1.5 billion, or 9.63%
of risk-weighted assets, compared with $1.4 billion, or 9.21% of risk-weighted assets at December 31, 2012. The increase in
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and Tier 1 common capital ratio from December 31, 2012 is due to retained earnings less dividends
supporting the asset growth of the organization.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting estimates occur in certain accounting policies and procedures and are particularly susceptible to significant
change. Policies that contain critical accounting estimates include the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses,
lease financings and income taxes. See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of critical
accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Developments

On  January  17,  2014,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (‘‘FASB’’)  issued  Accounting  Standards  Update  (‘‘ASU’’)
No. 2014-04, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real
Estate  Collateralized  Consumer  Loans  upon  Foreclosure,  which  clarifies  when  an  in  substance  repossession  or  foreclosure
occurs and when a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a
consumer mortgage loan. The adoption of this ASU will be required, either on a modified retrospective basis or on a prospective
basis, beginning with TCF’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2015. The adoption of this ASU is
not expected to have a material impact on TCF.

On  January  15,  2014,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  No.  2014-01,  Investments  –  Equity  Method  and  Joint  Ventures  (Topic  323):
Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects, which permits an accounting policy election to account for
investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. The
adoption of this ASU will be required on a retrospective basis beginning with TCF’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ending March 31, 2015. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on TCF.

On July 18, 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss
Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, which addresses the financial statement presentation of an
unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating
loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. The adoption of this ASU will be required on a prospective basis
beginning with TCF’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2014. The adoption of this ASU is not
expected to have a material impact on TCF.

On July 17, 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-10, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective
Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes (a consensus of the
FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), which permits an entity to designate the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate, also referred to as
the overnight index swap rate, as a benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. In addition, this ASU removes the

46

restriction on using different benchmark interest rates for similar hedges. This ASU became effective and was adopted by TCF
on July 17, 2013. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on TCF.

On April 22, 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-07, Liquidation Basis of Accounting, which provides guidance on when and
how  to  apply  the  liquidation  basis  of  accounting  and  on  what  to  disclose.  The  adoption  of  this  ASU  will  be  required  on  a
prospective basis beginning with TCF’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2014. The adoption of
this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on TCF.

On March 4, 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon
Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity, which
addresses the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a
foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a
business within a foreign entity. The adoption of this ASU will be required on a prospective basis beginning with TCF’s Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2014. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact
on TCF.

On February 28, 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements
for which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date, which addresses the recognition, measurement and
disclosure of certain obligations including debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, and settled litigation and judicial
rulings. The ASU requires application retrospectively to all prior periods presented for obligations resulting from joint and several
liability arrangements within the ASU’s scope that exist at the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of this
ASU will be required for TCF’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2014. The adoption of this ASU is
not expected to have a material impact on TCF.

Legislative and Regulatory Developments

Federal and state legislation imposes numerous legal and regulatory requirements on financial institutions. Future legislative or
regulatory change, or changes in enforcement practices or court rulings, may have a dramatic and potentially adverse impact on
TCF.

In December 2013, the OCC terminated the regulatory order related to previously disclosed
Bank Secrecy Act Consent Order
deficiencies  in  TCF  Bank’s  BSA  compliance  program.  TCF  Bank  has  made  comprehensive  changes  to  its  BSA  compliance
program and has satisfied the legal and regulatory requirements of the order.

Federal Reserve Notice of Proposed Rulemaking In July 2013, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, FDIC
and the OCC approved final rules (the ‘‘Final Capital Rules’’) implementing revised capital rules to reflect the requirements of the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the ‘‘Dodd-Frank Act’’) and the Basel III international
capital standards. Among other things, the Final Capital Rules establish a new capital ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital of
4.5% and a common equity Tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets; increase the minimum ratio of
Tier 1 capital ratio from 4% to 6% and include a minimum leverage ratio of 4%; place an emphasis on common equity Tier 1
capital and implement the Dodd-Frank Act phase-out of certain instruments from Tier 1 capital; and change the risk weights
assigned to certain instruments. Failure to meet these standards would result in limitations on capital distributions as well as
executive bonuses. The Final Capital Rules will be applicable to TCF on January 1, 2015 with conservation buffers phasing in over
the subsequent 5 years.

Interchange Litigation On July 31, 2013, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that the Federal Reserve
Board’s  regulation  concerning  debit  card  interchange  fees  and  network  exclusivity  requirements  failed  to  comply  with  the
Dodd-Frank Act. This ruling is currently on appeal. The lower court found that the Federal Reserve’s regulation permits debit card
issuers to recover costs that are not permitted by the Dodd Frank Act. The lower court’s ruling could ultimately adversely affect
the amount of future debit card interchange fees that TCF receives, and how future debit card transactions will be routed over
payment card networks. The lower court has left the current regulation in place pending a decision on the Federal Reserve’s
appeal. The outcome of the appeal is uncertain. It is too early to determine the extent or timing of any negative effects the
decision may have on TCF, as this will depend on numerous factors including the substance of any new regulations that the
Federal Reserve may promulgate. If the lower court’s ruling is upheld, however, it would have a significant adverse impact on
TCF’s interchange revenue.

Forward-Looking Information

Any statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K regarding the outlook for the Company’s businesses and their
respective markets, such as projections of future performance, guidance, statements of the Company’s plans and objectives,
forecasts of market trends and other matters, are forward-looking statements based on the Company’s assumptions and beliefs.
Such statements may be identified by such words or phrases as ‘‘will likely result,’’ ‘‘are expected to,’’ ‘‘will continue,’’ ‘‘outlook,’’
‘‘will benefit,’’ ‘‘is anticipated,’’ ‘‘estimate,’’ ‘‘project,’’ ‘‘management believes’’ or similar expressions. These forward-looking
statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed
in such statements and no assurance can be given that the results in any forward-looking statement will be achieved. For these
statements, TCF claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we disclaim
any obligation to subsequently revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after such date or to
reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Certain factors could cause the Company’s future results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-
looking statements contained herein. These factors include the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A of this report under the
heading ‘‘Risk Factors,’’ the factors discussed below and any other cautionary statements, written or oral, which may be made or
referred to in connection with any such forward-looking statements. Since it is not possible to foresee all such factors, these
factors should not be considered as complete or exhaustive.

Adverse Economic or Business Conditions; Competitive Conditions; Credit and Other Risks. Deterioration in general
economic and banking industry conditions, including those arising from government shutdowns, defaults, anticipated defaults or
rating  agency  downgrades  of  sovereign  debt  (including  debt  of  the  U.S.),  or  continued  high  rates  of  or  increases  in
unemployment in TCF’s primary banking markets; adverse economic, business and competitive developments such as shrinking
interest margins, reduced demand for financial services and loan and lease products, deposit outflows, deposit account attrition
or an inability to increase the number of deposit accounts; customers completing financial transactions without using a bank;
adverse  changes  in  credit  quality  and  other  risks  posed  by  TCF’s  loan,  lease,  investment  and  securities  available  for  sale
portfolios, including declines in commercial or residential real estate values, changes in the allowance for loan and lease losses
dictated by new market conditions or regulatory requirements, or the inability of home equity line borrowers to make increased
payments caused by increased interest rates or amortization of principal; deviations from estimates of prepayment rates and
fluctuations in interest rates that result in decreases in value of assets such as interest-only strips that arise in connection with
TCF’s loan sales activity; interest rate risks resulting from fluctuations in prevailing interest rates or other factors that result in a
mismatch between yields earned on TCF’s interest-earning assets and the rates paid on its deposits and borrowings; foreign
currency  exchange  risks;  counterparty  risk,  including  the  risk  of  defaults  by  our  counterparties  or  diminished  availability  of
counterparties who satisfy our credit quality requirements; decreases in demand for the types of equipment that TCF leases or
finances; the effect of any negative publicity.

Legislative  and  Regulatory  Requirements. New  consumer  protection  and  supervisory  requirements  and  regulations,
including  those  resulting  from  action  by  the  Consumer  Financial  Protection  Bureau  and  changes  in  the  scope  of  Federal
preemption of state laws that could be applied to national banks and their subsidiaries; the imposition of requirements that
adversely impact TCF’s lending, loan collection and other business activities as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, or other legislative
or  regulatory  developments  such  as  mortgage  foreclosure  moratorium  laws,  use  by  municipalities  of  eminent  domain  on
underwater  mortgages,  or  imposition  of  underwriting  or  other  limitations  that  impact  the  ability  to  use  certain  variable-rate
products; impact of legislative, regulatory or other changes affecting customer account charges and fee income; application of
bankruptcy laws which result in the loss of all or part of TCF’s security interest due to collateral value declines; deficiencies in
TCF’s  regulatory  compliance  programs,  which  may  result  in  regulatory  enforcement  actions,  including  monetary  penalties;
increased health care costs resulting from Federal health care reform legislation; adverse regulatory examinations and resulting
enforcement  actions  or  other  adverse  consequences  such  as  increased  capital  requirements  or  higher  deposit  insurance
assessments; heightened regulatory practices, requirements or expectations, including, but not limited to, requirements related
to the Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering compliance activity.

Earnings/Capital  Risks  and  Constraints,  Liquidity  Risks. Limitations  on  TCF’s  ability  to  pay  dividends  or  to  increase
dividends  because  of  financial  performance  deterioration,  regulatory  restrictions  or  limitations;  increased  deposit  insurance
premiums, special assessments or other costs related to adverse conditions in the banking industry, the economic impact on
banks of the Dodd-Frank Act and other regulatory reform legislation; the impact of financial regulatory reform, including additional
capital,  leverage,  liquidity  and  risk  management  requirements  or  changes  in  the  composition  of  qualifying  regulatory  capital
(including those resulting from U.S. implementation of Basel III requirements); adverse changes in securities markets directly or
indirectly affecting TCF’s ability to sell assets or to fund its operations; diminished unsecured borrowing capacity resulting from

48

TCF credit rating downgrades and unfavorable conditions in the credit markets that restrict or limit various funding sources; costs
associated with new regulatory requirements or interpretive guidance relating to liquidity; uncertainties relating to regulatory
requirements  or  customer  opt-in  preferences  with  respect  to  overdraft,  which  may  have  an  adverse  impact  on  TCF’s  fee
revenue; uncertainties relating to future retail deposit account changes, including limitations on TCF’s ability to predict customer
behavior and the impact on TCF’s fee revenues.

Supermarket Branching Risk; Growth Risks. Adverse developments affecting TCF’s supermarket banking relationships or
any  of  the  supermarket  chains  in  which  TCF  maintains  supermarket  branches;  costs  related  to  closing  underperforming

strategy through acquisitions or cross-selling opportunities; failure to expand or diversify TCF’s balance sheet through programs
or  new  opportunities;  failure  to  successfully  attract  and  retain  new  customers,  including  the  failure  to  attract  and  retain
manufacturers and dealers to expand the inventory finance business; failure to effectuate, and risks of claims related to, sales
and  securitizations  of  loans;  risks  related  to  new  product  additions  and  addition  of  distribution  channels  (or  entry  into  new
markets) for existing products.

Technological and Operational Matters. Technological or operational difficulties, loss or theft of information (including the
loss  of  account  information  by,  or  theft  from,  third  parties  such  as  merchants),  cyber-attacks  and  other  security  breaches,

with technological change.

Litigation Risks. Results of litigation, including class action litigation concerning TCF’s lending or deposit activities including
account servicing processes or fees or charges, or employment practices; the effect of interchange rate litigation against the
Federal Reserve on debit card interchange fees; and possible increases in indemnification obligations for certain litigation against
Visa U.S.A. and potential reductions in card revenues resulting from such litigation or other litigation against Visa.

Accounting, Audit, Tax and Insurance Matters. Changes in accounting standards or interpretations of existing standards;
federal or state monetary, fiscal or tax policies, including adoption of state legislation that would increase state taxes; ineffective
internal controls; adverse federal, state or foreign tax assessments or findings in tax audits; lack of or inadequate insurance

Item  7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures  about  Market  Risk
The  Company’s  market  risk  profile  consists  of  four  main  categories:  credit  risk,  interest  rate  risk,  liquidity  risk  and  foreign
currency risk.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is defined as the risk to earnings or capital if an obligor fails to meet the terms of any contract with the Company or
otherwise fails to perform as agreed, such as the failure of customers and counterparties to meet their contractual obligations, as
well as contingent exposures from unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. Credit risk also includes the failure of
counterparties to settle a securities transaction on agreed-upon terms or the failure of issuers in connection with mortgage-
backed securities held in the Company’s securities available for sale portfolio.

TCF has an Enterprise Risk Management Committee that meets regularly and is responsible for monitoring the loan and lease
portfolio  composition  and  risk  tolerance  within  the  various  segments  of  the  portfolio.  The  Enterprise  Risk  Management
Committee and the Board of Directors have adopted a Concentration Policy to manage the Company’s concentration risk. To
manage credit risk arising from lending and leasing activities, management has adopted and maintains underwriting policies and
procedures,  and  periodically  reviews  the  appropriateness  of  these  policies  and  procedures.  Customers  and  guarantors  or
recourse providers are evaluated as part of initial underwriting processes and through periodic reviews. For consumer loans,
credit scoring models are used to help determine eligibility for credit and terms of credit. These models are periodically reviewed
to verify that they are predictive of borrower performance. Limits are established on the exposure to a single customer (including
affiliates) and on concentrations for certain categories of customers. Loan and lease credit approval levels are established so that
larger credit exposures receive managerial review at the appropriate level through the credit committees.

Management  continuously  monitors  asset  quality  in  order  to  manage  the  Company’s  credit  risk  and  to  determine  the
appropriateness of valuation allowances, including, in the case of commercial, inventory finance loans and equipment finance
loans and leases, a risk rating methodology under which a rating of one through nine is assigned to each loan or lease. The rating
reflects management’s assessment of the potential impact on repayment of the customer’s financial and operational condition.
Asset quality is monitored separately based on the type or category of loan or lease. The rating process allows management to
better define the Company’s loan and lease portfolio risk profile. Management also uses various risk models to estimate probable
impact on payment performance under various scenarios, both expected and unexpected.

The Company manages securities transaction risk by monitoring all unsettled transactions. All counterparties and transaction
limits are reviewed and approved annually by both ALCO and the Bank Credit Committee of TCF Bank. To further manage credit
risk in the securities portfolio, 99.7% of the amortized cost of securities held in the securities available for sale portfolio are
issued and guaranteed by the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation or the
Government National Mortgage Association.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is defined as the exposure of net interest income and fair value of financial instruments (interest-earning assets,
deposits and borrowings) to movements in interest rates. TCF’s results of operations depend to a large degree on its net interest
income and its ability to manage interest rate risk. As such, the Company considers interest rate risk to be one of its most
significant market risks. ALCO meets regularly and is responsible for reviewing the Company’s interest rate sensitivity position
and  establishing  policies  to  monitor  and  limit  exposure  to  interest  rate  risk.  The  principal  objective  of  TCF’s  asset/liability
management activities is to provide maximum levels of net interest income while maintaining acceptable levels of interest rate
risk and liquidity risk and facilitating the funding needs of the Company.

Interest rate risk arises mainly from the structure of the balance sheet. Since TCF does not hold a trading portfolio, the Company
is not exposed to market risk from trading activities. As such, the major sources of the Company’s interest rate risk are timing
differences in the maturity and re-pricing characteristics of assets and liabilities, changes in the shape of the yield curve, changes
in customer behavior and changes in relationships between rate indices (basis risk). Management measures these risks and their
impact in various ways, including through the use of simulation and valuation analyses. The interest rate scenarios may include
gradual or rapid changes in interest rates, spread narrowing and widening, yield curve twists and changes in assumptions about
customer behavior in various interest rate scenarios.

50

TCF  utilizes  net  interest  income  simulation  models  to  estimate  the  near-term  effects  (next  one  to  three  years)  of  changing
interest rates on its net interest income. Net interest income simulation involves forecasting net interest income under a variety
of scenarios, including through variation of interest rate levels, the shape of the yield curve and the spreads between market
interest rates. Management exercises its best judgment in making assumptions regarding both events that management can
influence, such as non-contractual deposit re-pricings, and events outside of its control, such as customer behavior on loan and
deposit activity and the effect that competition has on both loan and deposit pricing. These assumptions are inherently uncertain
and, as a result, net interest income simulation results will likely differ from actual results due to the timing, magnitude and
frequency of interest rate changes, changes in market conditions, customer behavior and management strategies, among other
factors.

At December 31, 2013, net interest income is estimated to increase by 4.5%, compared with the base case scenario over the
next 12 months if short- and long-term interest rates were to sustain an immediate increase of 100 basis points.

Management also uses valuation analyses to measure risk in the balance sheet that might not be taken into account in the net
interest income simulation analyses. Net interest income simulation highlights exposure over a relatively short time period (12 to
36 months), while valuation analysis incorporates all cash flows over the estimated remaining life of all balance sheet positions.
The valuation of the balance sheet, at a point in time, is defined as the discounted present value of asset cash flows minus the
discounted value of liability cash flows. Valuation analysis addresses only the current balance sheet and does not incorporate the
growth assumptions that are used in the net interest income simulation model. As with the net interest income simulation
model, valuation analysis is based on key assumptions about the timing and variability of balance sheet cash flows and does not
take into account any potential responses by management to anticipated changes in interest rates.

Management also utilizes an interest rate gap measurement, which is calculated by taking the difference between interest-
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities re-pricing within a given period. While the interest rate gap measurement has some
limitations, including a lack of assumptions regarding future asset or liability production and a static interest rate assumption, it
represents the net asset or liability sensitivity at a point in time. An interest rate gap measurement could be significantly affected
by  external  factors  such  as  loan  prepayments,  early  withdrawals  of  deposits,  changes  in  the  correlation  of  various  interest-
bearing instruments, competition or a rise or decline in interest rates.

TCF’s one-year interest rate gap was a positive $1.5 billion, or 8.4% of total assets, at December 31, 2013, compared with a
positive $903.9 million, or 5% of total assets, at December 31, 2012. The change in the gap from the previous year-end is
primarily due to growth of variable-rate or short-duration fixed-rate assets in TCF’s portfolios. A positive interest rate gap position
exists  when  the  amount  of  interest-earning  assets  maturing  or  re-pricing  exceeds  the  amount  of  interest-bearing  liabilities
maturing or re-pricing, including assumed prepayments, within a particular time period. A negative interest rate gap position
exists  when  the  amount  of  interest-bearing  liabilities  maturing  or  re-pricing  exceeds  the  amount  of  interest-earning  assets
maturing or re-pricing, including assumed prepayments, within a particular time period.

Although prepayments on fixed-rate portfolios are currently at a relatively low level, TCF estimates that an immediate 100 basis
point increase in current mortgage loan interest rates would reduce prepayments on the fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities
and consumer loans at December 31, 2013, by approximately $51 million, or 16%, in the first year. A slowing in prepayments
would increase the estimated life of the portfolios and may adversely impact net interest income or net interest margin in the
future.  TCF  estimates  that  an  immediate  50  basis  point  decrease  in  current  mortgage  loan  interest  rates  would  increase
prepayments  on  the  fixed-rate  mortgage-backed  securities  and  consumer  real  estate  loans  at  December  31,  2013,  by
approximately $22 million, or 7%, in the first year. An increase in prepayments would decrease the estimated life of the portfolios
and may adversely impact net interest income or net interest margin in the future. The level of prepayments that would actually
occur in any scenario will be impacted by factors other than interest rates, such as lenders’ willingness to lend funds, and the
borrowers’ ability to borrow, which can be impacted by the value of assets underlying loans and leases.

(2) At December 31, 2013, $829 million of variable-rate consumer real estate loans and $238 million of variable-rate commercial loans were
modeled as fixed-rate loans as their current interest rate is below their contractual interest rate floor. An increase in short-term interest rates
may not result in a change in the interest rate on these variable-rate loans.

(3) Includes non-interest bearing deposits. At December 31, 2013, 25% of checking deposits, 38% of savings deposits, and 35% of money
market  deposits  are  included  in  amounts  repricing  within  one  year.  At  December  31,  2012,  19%  of  checking  deposits,  43%  of  savings
deposits, and 54% of money market deposits are included in amounts repricing within one year.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is defined as the risk to earnings or capital arising from the Company’s inability to meet its obligations when they
come due without incurring unacceptable losses.

ALCO  and  the  Finance  Committee  of  TCF  Financial’s  Board  of  Directors  have  adopted  a  Holding  Company  Investment  and
Liquidity Management Policy, which establishes a minimum target amount of cash or liquid investments TCF Financial will hold.
TCF Financial’s primary source of cash flow is capital distributions from TCF Bank. TCF Bank may require regulatory approval to
make any such distributions in the future and such distributions may be restricted by its regulatory authorities. TCF Bank’s ability
to make any such distributions will also depend on its earnings and ability to meet minimum regulatory capital requirements in
effect during future periods (see Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information).

ALCO and the Finance Committee of TCF Financial’s Board of Directors have adopted a Liquidity Management Policy for the
Bank to direct management of the Company’s liquidity risk. The objective of the Liquidity Management Policy is to ensure that
TCF meets its cash and collateral obligations promptly, in a cost-effective manner and with the highest degree of reliability. The
maintenance  of  adequate  levels  of  asset  and  liability  liquidity  will  provide  TCF  with  the  ability  to  meet  both  expected  and
unexpected cash flows and collateral needs. Key liquidity ratios, asset liquidity levels and the amount available from funding
sources are reported to ALCO on a monthly basis. TCF’s Liquidity Management Policy defines liquidity stress scenarios and
establishes asset liquidity target ranges based upon those stress scenarios that are deemed appropriate for its risk profile.

52

TCF’s asset liquidity may be held in the form of on-balance sheet cash invested with the Federal Reserve or through the use of
overnight Federal Funds sold to highly rated counterparties or short-term U.S. Treasury Bills or Notes. Other asset liquidity can be
provided by unpledged, highly-rated securities which could be sold or pledged to various counterparties under established TCF
lines. At December 31, 2013, TCF had asset liquidity of $1.1 billion.

Deposits are TCF’s primary source of funding. TCF also maintains secured sources of funding, which primarily include $2.2 billion
of borrowing capacity at the FHLB of Des Moines, as well as access to the Federal Reserve Discount Window. Collateral pledged
by TCF to the FHLB and the Federal Reserve consists primarily of consumer and commercial real estate loans. The FHLB relies
upon its own internal credit analysis of TCF’s financial results when determining TCF’s secured borrowing capacity. In addition to
the above, TCF maintains other sources of unsecured and uncommitted borrowing capacity, including overnight federal funds
purchased lines, access to brokered deposits, and access to the capital markets. TCF has developed and maintains a contingency
funding plan should certain liquidity needs arise.

Foreign  Currency Risk

The  Company  is  also  exposed  to  foreign  currency  risk  as  changes  in  foreign  exchange  rates  may  impact  the  Company’s
investment in TCF Commercial Finance Canada, Inc. or results of other transactions in countries outside of the United States.
Beginning in 2011, TCF entered into forward foreign exchange contracts in order to minimize the risk of changes in foreign
exchange  rates  on  its  investment  in  and  loans  to  TCF  Commercial  Finance  Canada,  Inc.  and  on  certain  other  foreign  lease
transactions. The values of forward foreign exchange contracts vary over their contractual lives as the related currency exchange
rates fluctuate. TCF may also experience realized and unrealized gains or losses on forward foreign exchange contracts as a
result of changes in foreign exchange rates.

Notes  to Consolidated  Financial Statements

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TCF Financial Corporation and its wholly
owned subsidiaries (‘‘TCF’’). TCF Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation, is a national bank holding company engaged
primarily in retail banking and wholesale banking through its primary subsidiary, TCF National Bank (‘‘TCF Bank’’). References
herein to ‘‘TCF Financial’’ refer to TCF Financial Corporation on an unconsolidated basis. TCF Bank owns leasing and equipment
finance, inventory finance, auto finance and real estate investment trust subsidiaries. These subsidiaries are consolidated with
TCF Bank and are included in the consolidated financial statements of TCF Financial Corporation. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (‘‘GAAP’’)
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available to management at the time the estimates are
made. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical  Accounting  Estimates Critical  accounting  estimates  occur  in  certain  accounting  policies  and  procedures  and  are
particularly susceptible to significant change. Policies that contain critical accounting estimates include the determination of the
allowance for loan and lease losses, lease financings and income taxes.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses The allowance for loan and lease losses is maintained at a level appropriate to provide for
probable loan and lease losses incurred in the portfolio as of the balance sheet date, including known or anticipated problem
loans and leases, as well as for loans and leases which are not currently known to require specific allowances. Loans classified as
TDR  loans  are  considered  impaired  loans.  TCF  individually  evaluates  impairment  on  all  impaired  commercial  and  inventory
finance loans, certain large impaired equipment finance loans and leases, large consumer real estate troubled debt restructured
(‘‘TDR’’) loans, auto finance TDR loans, and all non-accrual Winthrop leases. All other loans and leases are evaluated collectively
for impairment. See Note 6, Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and Credit Quality Information, for a definition of impaired
loans.

Loan impairment on consumer TDR loans is a key component of the allowance for loan and lease losses. The impairment is
based  upon  the  present  value  of  the  expected  future  cash  flows  discounted  at  the  loan’s  initial  effective  interest  rate
incorporating certain assumptions for prepayments, default rates and loss severity based on historical performance. Due to the
fact that the impairment is calculated utilizing the initial effective interest rate versus the modified interest rate a portion of the
impairment  constitutes  an  interest  component.  See  Note  6,  Allowance  for  Loan  and  Lease  Losses  and  Credit  Quality
Information, for further information on the determination of the allowance for losses on accruing consumer real estate TDR
loans.

Loan impairment on commercial, equipment finance and inventory finance loans is generally based upon the present value of the
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s initial effective interest rate, unless the loans are collateral dependent, in
which  case  loan  impairment  is  based  upon  the  fair  value  of  collateral  less  estimated  selling  costs;  however,  if  payment  or
satisfaction of the loan is dependent on the operation, rather than the sale, of the collateral, the impairment does not include
selling costs.

The impairment for all other loans and leases is evaluated collectively by various characteristics. The collective evaluation of
incurred losses in these portfolios is based upon overall risk characteristics, changes in the character or size of portfolios, risk
rating migration, and prevailing economic conditions. Additionally, the level of historical net charge-off amounts, delinquencies in
the loan and lease portfolios, values of underlying loan and lease collateral and other relevant factors are reviewed to determine
the amount of the allowance.

Loans and leases are charged off to the extent they are deemed to be uncollectible. Charge-offs related to confirmed losses are
utilized in the historical data used in the allowance for loan and lease losses calculations. Consumer real estate loans are charged
off to the estimated fair value of underlying collateral, less estimated selling costs, no later than 150 days past due. Auto finance

60

loans are generally charged off to the estimated fair value of underlying collateral, less estimated selling costs, if repossession is
reasonably  assured  and  in  process.  Otherwise,  auto  finance  loans  are  charged off  in  full  no  later  than  120  days  past  due.
Additional review of the fair value, less estimated costs to sell, compared with the recorded value occurs upon foreclosure, and
additional charge-offs are recorded if necessary. Valuation adjustments on residential properties, made within four months after
obtaining  title  or  possession  of  the  property,  are  recorded  as  charge-offs  against  the  allowance  for  loan  and  lease  losses.
Subsequent  valuation  adjustments  are  recorded  as  foreclosed  real  estate  expense.  Deposit  account  overdrafts,  which  are
included within other loans, are charged off at or before they are 60 days past due. Commercial loans, leasing and equipment
finance loans, and inventory finance loans which are considered collateral dependent, are charged off to estimated fair value, less
estimated  selling  costs,  when  it  becomes  probable,  based  on  current  information  and  events,  that  all  principal  and  interest
amounts will not be collectible in accordance with contractual terms. Loans which are not collateral dependent are charged off
when deemed uncollectible based on specific facts and circumstances.

The  amount  of  the  allowance  for  loan  and  lease  losses  significantly  depends  upon  management’s  estimates  of  variables
affecting valuation, appraisals of collateral, evaluations of performance and status, and the amounts and timing of future cash
flows expected to be received. Such estimates, appraisals, evaluations and cash flows may be subject to frequent adjustments
due  to  changing  economic  prospects  of  borrowers,  lessees  or  properties.  These  estimates  are  reviewed  periodically  and
adjustments, if necessary, are recorded in the provision for credit losses in the periods in which they become known.

Lease Financing TCF provides various types of commercial lease financing that are classified for accounting purposes as direct
financing, sales-type or operating leases. Leases that transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership to the lessee
are classified as direct financing or sales-type leases and are included in loans and leases. Direct financing and sales-type leases
are carried at the combined present value of future minimum lease payments and lease residual values. The determination of
lease classification requires various judgments and estimates by management including the fair value of the equipment at lease
inception, useful life of the equipment under lease, estimate of the lease residual value and collectability of minimum lease
payments.

Sales-type leases generate dealer profit which is recognized at lease inception by recording lease revenue net of lease cost.
Lease  revenue  consists  of  the  present  value  of  the  future  minimum  lease  payments.  Lease  cost  consists  of  the  leased
equipment’s  book  value,  less  the  present  value  of  its  residual.  Interest  income  on  direct  financing  and  sales-type  leases  is
recognized using methods which approximate a level yield over the fixed, non-cancelable term of the lease. TCF receives pro rata
rent payments for the interim period until the lease contract commences and the fixed, non-cancelable lease term begins. TCF
recognizes these interim payments in the month they are earned and records the income in interest income on direct finance
leases. Management has policies and procedures in place for the determination of lease classification and review of the related
judgments and estimates for all lease financings.

Some lease financings include a residual value component, which represents the estimated fair value of the leased equipment at
the expiration of the initial term of the transaction. The estimation of residual values involves judgment regarding product and
technology changes, customer behavior, shifts in supply and demand, and other economic assumptions. TCF reviews residual
assumptions on the portfolio at least annually and downward adjustments, if necessary, are charged to non-interest expense in
the periods in which they become known.

TCF occasionally sells minimum lease payments, as a credit risk reduction tool, to third-party financial institutions at fixed rates
on a non-recourse basis with its underlying equipment as collateral. For those transactions which achieve sale treatment, the
related lease cash flow stream and the non-recourse financing are derecognized. For those transactions which do not achieve
sale treatment, the underlying lease remains on TCF’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and non-recourse debt is
recorded in the amount of the proceeds received. TCF retains servicing of these leases and bills, collects and remits funds to the
third-party financial institution. Upon default by the lessee, the third-party financial institutions may take control of the underlying
collateral which TCF would otherwise retain as residual value.

Leases which do not transfer substantially all benefits and risks of ownership to the lessee are classified as operating leases.
Such leased equipment and related initial direct costs are included in other assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial
Condition  and  depreciated,  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  term  of  the  lease,  to  its  estimated  salvage  value.  Depreciation
expense  is  recorded  as  operating  lease  expense  and  included  in  non-interest  expense.  Operating  lease  rental  income  is
recognized when it is due and is reflected as a component of non-interest income. An allowance for lease losses is not provided
on operating leases.

Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis carrying amounts. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are

61

expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period in which the enactment date occurs. Also, if current period income tax rates change, the impact on the
annual effective income tax rate is applied year-to-date in the period of enactment.

The determination of current and deferred income taxes is a critical accounting estimate which is based on complex analyses of
many factors, including interpretation of income tax laws, the evaluation of uncertain tax positions, differences between the tax
and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities (temporary differences), estimates of amounts due or owed, the timing of
reversals  of  temporary  differences  and  current  financial  accounting  standards.  Additionally,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that
estimates and interpretations used in determining income tax liabilities will not be challenged by taxing authorities. Actual results
could differ significantly from the estimates and tax law interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax
liabilities.

In  the  preparation  of  income  tax  returns,  tax  positions  are  taken  based  on  interpretation  of  income  tax  laws  for  which  the
outcome is uncertain. Management periodically reviews and evaluates the status of uncertain tax positions and makes estimates
of  amounts  ultimately  due  or  owed.  The  benefits  of  tax  positions  are  recorded  in  income  tax  expense  in  the  Consolidated
Statements of Income, net of the estimates of ultimate amounts due or owed, including any applicable interest and penalties.
Changes  in  the  estimated  amounts  due  or  owed  may  result  from  closing  of  the  statute  of  limitations  on  tax  returns,  new
legislation, clarification of existing legislation through government pronouncements, judicial action and through the examination
process. TCF’s policy is to report interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the
Consolidated Statements of Income.

Other Significant Accounting Policies

Investments Investments are carried at cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts, using a level
yield  method.  TCF  periodically  evaluates  investments  for  other  than  temporary  impairment  with  losses,  if  any,  recorded  in
non-interest income within gains on securities, net.

Securities Available for Sale Securities available for sale are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses, net of
related  deferred  income  taxes,  reported  within  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  (loss),  a  separate  component  of
equity. The cost of securities sold is determined on a specific identification basis and gains or losses on sales of securities
available for sale are recognized on trade dates. TCF evaluates securities available for sale for other than temporary impairment
on a quarterly basis. Declines in the value of securities available for sale that are considered other than temporary are recorded
net of gains on securities in non-interest income. Discounts and premiums on securities available for sale are amortized using a
level yield method over the expected life of the security.

Loans and Leases Held for Sale Loans and leases designated as held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Any
amount by which cost exceeds fair value is initially recorded as a valuation allowance and subsequently reflected in the gain or
loss on sale when sold.

Loans  and  Leases Loans  and  leases  are  reported  at  historical  cost  including  net  direct  fees  and  costs  associated  with
originating  and  acquiring  loans  and  leases.  The  net  direct  fees  and  costs  for  sales-type  leases  are  offset  against  revenues
recorded at the commencement of sales-type leases. Discounts and premiums on acquired loans, net direct fees and costs,
unearned discounts and finance charges, and unearned lease income are amortized to interest income using methods which
approximate a level yield over the estimated remaining lives of the loans and leases. Net direct fees and costs on all lines of credit
are amortized on a straight line basis over the contractual life of the line of credit and adjusted for payoffs. Net deferred fees and
costs on consumer real estate lines of credit are amortized to service fee income.

Non-accrual Loans and Leases Loans and leases are generally placed on non-accrual status when the collection of interest
and principal is 90 days or more past due unless, in the case of commercial loans, they are well-secured and in the process of
collection. Consumer loans, other than real estate, and auto loans are placed on non-accrual status when interest and principal is
120 days past due. Delinquent junior lien loans are also placed on non-accrual status when there is evidence that the related third-
party first lien mortgage may be 90 days or more past due. Consumer loans are also generally placed on non-accrual status,
regardless  of  delinquency,  within  60  days  of  notification  of  bankruptcy  or  upon  discharge  under  a  Chapter  7  bankruptcy
proceeding.

Loans on non-accrual status are reported as non-accrual loans until there is sustained repayment performance for six consecutive
months, with the exception of loans not reaffirmed upon discharge under Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which remain on non-accrual
status permanently. Income on these loans is recognized on a cash basis when there is sustained repayment performance for six
consecutive months, the loan is not more than 60 days delinquent and a current credit evaluation has been completed.

62

Generally, when a loan or lease is placed on non-accrual status, uncollected interest accrued in prior years is charged-off against
the  allowance  for  loan  and  lease  losses  and  interest  accrued  in  the  current  year  is  reversed  against  interest  income.  For
non-accrual leases that have been discounted with third-party financial institutions on a non-recourse basis, the related liability is
also placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on loans and leases in non-accrual status are generally applied to
principal unless the remaining principal balance has been determined to be fully collectible, in which case interest income is
recognized on a cash basis.

Premises  and  Equipment Premises  and  equipment,  including  leasehold  improvements,  are  carried  at  cost  and  are
depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of owned assets and for leasehold improvements
over the estimated useful life of the related asset or the lease term, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are charged to
expense as incurred. Rent expense for leased land with facilities is recognized in occupancy and equipment expense. Rent
expense for leases with free rent periods or scheduled rent increases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed and Returned Assets Assets acquired through foreclosure, repossession or
returned to TCF are initially recorded at the lower of the loan or lease carrying amount or fair value of the collateral less estimated
selling costs at the time of transfer to real estate owned or repossessed and returned assets. The fair value of other real estate
owned is determined through independent third-party appraisals, automated valuation methods or real estate broker’s price
opinions less estimated selling costs. The fair value of repossessed and returned assets is based on available pricing guides,
auction results or price opinions less estimated selling costs. Within four months of a loan or lease transferring to other real
estate owned or repossessed and returned assets, any carrying amount in excess of the fair value less estimated selling costs is
charged off to the allowance for loan and lease losses. Subsequently, if the fair value of an asset, less the estimated costs to sell,
declines to less than the carrying amount of the asset, the shortfall is recognized in the period in which it becomes known and is
included in other non-interest expense. Operating expenses of properties and recoveries on sales of other real estate owned are
recorded in foreclosed real estate and repossessed assets, net. Operating revenue from foreclosed property is included in other
non-interest income. Other real estate owned at December 31, 2013 and 2012, was $68.9 million and $97 million, respectively.
Repossessed and returned assets at both December 31, 2013 and 2012, were $3.5 million.

Investments  in  Affordable  Housing  Limited  Partnerships Investments  in  affordable  housing  consist  of  investments  in
limited  partnerships  that  operate  qualified  affordable  housing  projects  or  that  invest  in  other  limited  partnerships  formed  to
operate affordable housing projects. TCF generally utilizes the effective yield method to account for these investments with the
tax credits and amortization of the investment reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income as a reduction of income tax
expense. However, depending on circumstances, the equity or cost methods may be utilized. The amount of the investment
along with any unfunded equity contributions which are unconditional and legally binding are recorded in other assets. A liability
for the unfunded equity contributions is recorded in other liabilities. At December 31, 2013, TCF’s investments in affordable
housing limited partnerships were $10.9 million, compared with $15.8 million at December 31, 2012.

At December 31, 2013, five of these investments in affordable housing limited partnerships are considered variable interest
entities. These partnerships are not consolidated with TCF. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the carrying amount of these five
investments was $10.3 million and $15.2 million, respectively. The maximum exposure to loss on these five investments was
$10.3 million at December 31, 2013, however the general partner of these partnerships provides various guarantees to TCF
including  guaranteed  minimum  returns.  These  guarantees  are  backed  by  an  investment  grade  credit-rated  company,  which
further  reduces  the  risk  of  loss.  In  addition  to  the  guarantees,  the  investments  are  supported  by  the  performance  of  the
underlying real estate properties which also mitigates the risk of loss.

Interest-Only  Strips TCF  periodically  sells  loans  to  third  party  financial  institutions  at  fixed  or  variable  rates.  For  those
transactions which achieve sale treatment, the underlying loan is not recognized on TCF’s Consolidated Statements of Financial
Condition. The Company sells these loans at par value and generally retains an interest in the future cash flows of borrower loan
payments, known as an interest-only strip. The interest-only strip is recorded at fair value at the time of sale. The fair value of the
interest-only strip represents the present value of future cash flows generated by the loans to be retained by TCF. After initial
recording of the interest-only strip, the accretable yield is measured as the difference between the initial investment, or fair
value, and the cash flows expected to be collected. The accretable yield is amortized into interest income over the life of the
interest-only strip using the effective yield method. The expected cash flows are evaluated quarterly to determine if they have
changed from previous projections. If the present value of the original cash flows expected to be collected is less than the
present value of the current estimate of cash flows to be collected, the change is adjusted prospectively over the remaining life
of the interest-only strip. If the present value of the original cash flows expected to be collected is greater than the present value
of the current estimate, an other than temporary impairment is generally recorded.

63

Intangible  Assets All  assets  and  liabilities  acquired  in  purchase  acquisitions,  including  goodwill  and  other  intangibles,  are
recorded at fair value. Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price of an acquisition is greater than the fair value of net assets,
including  identifiable  intangible  assets.  Goodwill  is  not  amortized,  but  assessed  for  impairment  on  an  annual  basis  at  the
reporting unit level, which is one level below reportable operating segments. Interim impairment analysis may be required if
events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce a reporting unit’s fair value below its carrying
amount. Other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line or effective yield basis over their estimated useful lives, and are
subject to impairment if events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to realize their carrying amounts.

When testing for goodwill impairment, TCF may initially perform a qualitative assessment. Based on the results of this qualitative
assessment,  if  TCF  concludes  it  is  more  likely  than  not  that  a  reporting  unit’s  fair  value  is  less  than  its  carrying  amount,  a
quantitative analysis is performed. TCF’s quantitative valuation methodologies primarily include discounted cash flow analysis in
determining  fair  value  of  reporting  units.  If  the  fair  value  is  less  than  the  carrying  amount,  additional  analysis  is  required  to
measure  the  amount  of  impairment.  Impairment  losses,  if  any,  are  recorded  as  a  charge  to  non-interest  expense  and  an
adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill.

Other  intangible  assets  are  reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  their  carrying
amount may not be recoverable. Impairment is indicated if the sum of the undiscounted estimated future net cash flows is less
than the carrying value of the intangible asset. Impairment losses, if any, permanently reduce the carrying value of the other
intangible assets.

Stock-Based  Compensation The  fair  value  of  restricted  stock  and  stock  options  is  determined  on  the  date  of  grant  and
amortized to compensation expense, with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital, over the longer of the service
period or performance period, but in no event beyond an employee’s retirement date or date of employment termination. For
performance-based restricted stock, TCF estimates the degree to which performance conditions will be met to determine the
number of shares that will vest and the related compensation expense. Compensation expense is adjusted in the period such
estimates  change.  Non-forfeitable  dividends,  if  any,  paid  on  shares  of  restricted  stock  are  recorded  to  retained  earnings  for
shares that are expected to vest and to compensation expense for shares that are not expected to vest.

Income  tax  benefits  related  to  stock  compensation,  in  excess  of  grant  date  fair  value  less  any  proceeds  on  exercise,  are
recognized as additional paid-in capital upon vesting or exercise and delivery of the stock. Any income tax benefits that are less
than grant date fair value less any proceeds on exercise are recognized as a reduction of additional paid in capital to the extent of
previously  recognized  income  tax  benefits  and  then  as  income  tax  expense  for  any  remaining  amount.  See  Note  15,  Stock
Compensation, for additional information concerning stock-based compensation.

Deposit Account Overdrafts Deposit account overdrafts are reported in other loans and leases. Net losses on uncollectible
overdrafts are reported as net charge-offs in the allowance for loan and lease losses within 60 days from the date of overdraft.
Uncollectible deposit fees are reversed against fees and service charges and a related reserve for uncollectible deposit fees is
maintained in other liabilities. Other deposit account losses are reported in other non-interest expense.

Note 2. Cash and  Due from Banks
At December 31, 2013 and 2012, TCF Bank was required by Federal Reserve regulations to maintain reserves of $95.5 million
and $79.7 million, respectively, in cash on hand or at the Federal Reserve.

TCF maintains cash balances that are restricted as to their use in accordance with certain contractual agreements primarily
related to the sale and servicing of auto loans and consumer real estate loans. Cash payments received on loans serviced for third
parties are held in separate accounts until remitted. TCF also retains cash balances for potential loss recourse on certain sold auto
loans as well as cash for collateral on certain borrowings and foreign exchange contracts. TCF maintained restricted cash totaling
$46.1 million and $28.8 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The  investments  in  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  stock  are  required  investments  related  to  TCF’s  membership  in  and  current
borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (‘‘FHLB’’) of Des Moines. All Federal Home Loan Banks (‘‘FHLBanks’’) obtain their
funding primarily through issuance of consolidated obligations of the FHLB system. The U.S. Government does not guarantee
these obligations, and each of the 12 FHLBanks are jointly and severally liable for repayment of each other’s debt. Therefore,
TCF’s investments in FHLB of Des Moines could be adversely impacted by the financial operations of the FHLBanks and actions
of their regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

TCF Bank is required to hold Federal Reserve Bank stock equal to 6% of TCF Bank’s capital surplus, which is additional paid-in
capital stock, less any deficit retained earnings, gains (losses) on available for sale securities, and foreign currency translation
adjustments  as  of  the  current  period  end.  Mortgage-backed  securities  primarily  consist  of  U.S.  Government  sponsored
enterprises and federal agencies. During 2013, TCF transferred $9.3 million of available for sale mortgage-backed securities to
held to maturity, reflecting TCF’s intent to hold those securities to maturity. Other investments primarily consist of non-trading
mortgage-backed securities and other bonds which qualify for investment credit under the Community Reinvestment Act.

During  2013,  TCF  recorded  an  impairment  charge  of  $246  thousand  on  other  investments,  which  had  a  carrying  value  of
$5.3  million  at  December  31,  2013,  as  full  recovery  is  not  expected.  During  2012,  TCF  recorded  an  impairment  charge  of
$865 thousand on other investments, which had a carrying value of $5.7 million at December 31, 2012.

During the second quarter of 2012, TCF sold its Visa Class B stock, resulting in a net $13.1 million pre-tax gain recorded in
non-interest income within the Consolidated Statement of Income. In conjunction with the sale, TCF and the purchaser entered
into a derivative transaction whereby TCF may receive or be required to make cash payments whenever the conversion ratio of
Visa Class B stock into Visa Class A stock is adjusted.

Gross realized gains of $1.2 million, $90.2 million and $8 million were recognized on sales of securities available for sale during
2013,  2012  and  2011,  respectively.  At  December  31,  2013  and  2012,  mortgage-backed  securities  of  $14.7  million  and
$19.8 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral to secure certain deposits and borrowings. There were no impairment
charges  recognized  during  2013.  During  2012  and  2011,  TCF  recorded  impairment  charges  of  $225  thousand  and
$768 thousand, respectively, on other securities as full recovery was not expected.

Unrealized losses on securities available for sale are due to lower values for equity securities or changes in interest rates. TCF has
the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value occurs.

The following table shows the gross unrealized losses and fair value of securities available for sale that are in a loss position at

(1) Operating  leases  of  $77.7  million  and  $82.9  million  at  December  31,  2013  and  2012,  respectively,  are  included  in  other  assets  in  the

Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the consumer real estate junior lien portfolio was comprised of $2.1 billion and $1.9 billion,
respectively, of home equity lines of credit (‘‘HELOCs’’) and $505.5 million and $577.8 million, respectively, of amortizing junior
lien mortgage loans. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, $969.2 million and $1.2 billion, respectively, of the consumer real estate
junior lien HELOCs were interest-only revolving draw programs with no defined amortization period and draw periods of 5 to
40 years. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, $1.1 billion and $675.4 million, respectively, had a 10-year interest-only draw period
and a 20-year amortization repayment period and all were within the 10-year initial draw period, and have not yet converted to
amortizing loans.

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, TCF sold $795.3 million and $536.7 million, respectively, of consumer auto
loans  with  servicing  retained  and  limited  representations  and  indemnifications,  received  cash  of  $780.3  million  and
$524.9 million, respectively, and recognized net gains of $29.7 million and $22.1 million, respectively. Related to these sales, TCF
retained interest-only strips of $50.7 million and $39.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. At

67

December 31, 2013, interest-only strips and contractual recourse liabilities related to sales of auto loans totaled $64.9 million and
$1.1 million, respectively. At December 31, 2012, interest-only strips and contractual recourse liabilities related to sales of auto
loans totaled $46.7 million and $3.6 million, respectively. TCF recorded impairment charges related to auto finance interest-only
strips of $5.4 million and $458 thousand during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These impairments
were related to higher prepayments than originally assumed. No servicing assets or liabilities related to consumer auto loans
were recorded within TCF’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, as the contractual servicing fees are adequate to
compensate TCF for its servicing responsibilities. TCF’s auto loan managed portfolio, which includes portfolio loans, loans held
for sale, and loans sold and serviced for others, totaled $2.4 billion and $1.3 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, TCF sold $763.1 million and $161.8 million, respectively, of consumer real
estate loans, with limited representations, indemnifications, and limited credit guarantees, received cash of $767.3 million and
$167.2 million, respectively, and recognized net gains of $21.7 million and $5.4 million, respectively. Related to these sales, TCF
retained interest-only strips of $22.2 million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. At
December 31, 2013, interest-only strips and contractual recourse liabilities related to sales of consumer real estate loans totaled
$19.6 million and $563 thousand, respectively. TCF recorded impairment charges related to consumer real estate interest-only
strips of $466 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2013 and had no impairment charges recorded during the year
ended December 31, 2012. No servicing assets or liabilities related to consumer real estate loans were recorded within TCF’s
Consolidated  Statements  of  Financial  Condition,  as  the  contractual  servicing  fees  are  adequate  to  compensate  TCF  for  its
servicing  responsibilities  based  on  the  amount  demanded  by  the  marketplace.  TCF’s  consumer  real  estate  loan  managed
portfolio,  which  includes  portfolio  loans,  loans  held  for  sale,  and  loans  sold  and  serviced  for  others,  totaled  $7  billion  and
$6.7 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

From  time  to  time,  TCF  sells  leasing  and  equipment  finance  loans  and  minimum  lease  payments  to  third-party  financial
institutions at fixed rates. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, TCF sold $60.3 million and $102.4 million,
respectively, of loans and minimum lease payment receivables, received cash of $62.1 million and $105.9 million, respectively,
and recognized a net gain of $487 thousand and $2.1 million, respectively. Related to these sales, TCF had servicing liabilities of
$1.3 million for both the years December 31, 2013 and 2012. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, TCF had total servicing liabilities
related to leasing and equipment finance of $1.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, TCF had
lease residuals related to sales of outstanding minimum lease payments receivable of $15.2 million included in loans and leases
and $14.8 million included in other assets, respectively. TCF’s leasing and equipment finance loan managed portfolio, which
includes  portfolio  loans,  loans  held  for  sale,  and  loans  sold  and  serviced  for  others,  totaled  $3.6  billion  and  $3.4  billion  at
December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, TCF sold $86.5 million of commercial loans and recognized a net gain of $1.6 million.
There were no material sales of commercial loans during the year ended 2012. There were no servicing liabilities related to these
sales.

TCF’s agreements to sell consumer real estate and auto loans typically contain certain representations and warranties regarding
the loans sold. These representations and warranties generally relate to, among other things, the ownership of the loan, the
validity, priority and perfection of the lien securing the loan, accuracy of information supplied to the buyer, the loan’s compliance
with the criteria set forth in the agreement, payment delinquency, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. TCF may
be required to repurchase loans in the event of an unremedied breach of these representations or warranties. During the years
ended  December  31,  2013  and  2012,  losses  related  to  repurchases  pursuant  to  such  representations  and  warranties  were
immaterial as the majority of such repurchases were of consumer auto loans where TCF typically has contractual agreements
with the automobile dealership that originated the loan requiring the dealer to repurchase such contracts from TCF.

Future minimum lease payments receivable for direct financing, sales-type leases and operating leases as of December 31, 2013

Accruing  and  Non-accrual  Loans  and  Leases The  following  tables  set  forth  information  regarding  TCF’s  accruing  and
non-accrual loans and leases. Non-accrual loans and leases are those which management believes have a higher risk of loss than
accruing loans and leases. Delinquent balances are determined based on the contractual terms of the loan or lease. TCF’s key
credit quality indicator is the receivable’s payment performance status as accruing or non-accruing.

Loan Modifications for Borrowers with Financial Difficulties
Included within loans and leases in the previous tables are
certain loans that have been modified in order to maximize collection of loan balances. If, for economic or legal reasons related to
the customer’s financial difficulties, TCF grants a concession, the modified loan is classified as a TDR.

The amount of additional funds committed to consumer real estate and commercial borrowers in TDR status was $6.1 million
and  $8.6  million  at  December  31,  2013  and  2012,  respectively.  At  December  31,  2013  and  2012,  no  additional  funds  were
committed to leasing and equipment finance, inventory finance or auto finance borrowers in TDR status.

When a loan is modified as a TDR, principal balances are generally not forgiven. Loan modifications to troubled borrowers are not
reported as TDR loans in the calendar year after modification if the loans were modified at an interest rate equal to the yields of
new loan originations with comparable risk and the loans are performing based on the terms of the restructuring agreements. All
loans  classified  as  TDR  loans  are  considered  to  be  impaired.  During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2013,  $17.1  million  of
commercial loans were removed from TDR status as they were restructured at market terms and are performing.

The financial effects of TDR loans are presented in the following tables and represent the difference between interest income
recognized on accruing TDR loans and the contractual interest that would have been recorded under the original contractual
terms.

The  table  below  summarizes  TDR  loans  that  defaulted  during  the  years  ended  December  31,  2013  and  2012,  which  were
modified within one year of the beginning of the respective reporting period. TCF considers a loan to have defaulted when it
becomes 90 or more days delinquent under the modified terms, has been transferred to non-accrual status subsequent to the
modification or has been transferred to other real estate owned.

(1) The loan balances presented are not materially different than the pre-modification loan balances as TCF’s loan modifications generally do not

forgive principal amounts.

Consumer real estate TDR loans are evaluated separately in TCF’s allowance methodology. Impairment is generally based upon
the  present  value  of  the  expected  future  cash  flows  or  the  fair  value  of  the  collateral  less  selling  expenses  for  collateral
dependent loans. The allowance on accruing consumer real estate TDR loans was $103.3 million, or 20.4% of the outstanding
balance, at December 31, 2013 and $82.3 million, or 17.2% of the outstanding balance, at December 31, 2012. For consumer
real estate TDR loans, TCF utilized average remaining re-default rates ranging from 6% to 25% in 2013, and 10% to 25% in 2012,
depending on modification type, in determining impairment, which is consistent with actual experience.

Generally consumer real estate loans remain on accruing status upon modification if they are less than 90 days past due and
payment  in  full  under  the  modified  loan  terms  is  expected  based  on  a  current  credit  evaluation  and  historical  payment
performance. In addition, consumer real estate junior lien loans are placed on non-accrual status and charged-off to the estimated
fair value when the junior lien loan is 30 days or more past due and when TCF has evidence that the related third-party first
mortgage lien is 90 days or more past due or foreclosure action has been initiated. Loans are placed on non-accrual status and
reported  as  non-accrual  until  there  is  sustained  repayment  performance  for  six  consecutive  payments,  except  for  loans
discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy that are not reaffirmed, which remain on non-accrual status for the remainder of the term of
the loan. All eligible loans are re-aged to current delinquency status upon modification.

Commercial TDR loans are individually evaluated for impairment based upon the present value of the expected future cash flows
or for collateral dependent loans at the fair value of collateral, less selling expense if repayment or satisfaction of the loans is
expected to be dependent on the sale of the collateral. Non-accrual commercial loans are charged-off to the estimated fair value
of  underlying  collateral,  less  estimated  selling  costs;  however,  if  payment  or  satisfaction  of  the  loan  is  dependent  on  the
operation,  rather  than  the  sale,  of  the  collateral,  the  impairment  does  not  include  selling  costs.  The  allowance  on  accruing
commercial TDR loans was $6.3 million, or 5.2% of the outstanding balance, at December 31, 2013 and $1.5 million, or 1% of the
outstanding balance, at December 31, 2012.

Impaired Loans TCF considers impaired loans to include non-accrual commercial loans, non-accrual equipment finance loans
and non-accrual inventory finance loans, as well as all TDR loans. Non-accrual impaired loans, including non-accrual TDR loans,
are included in non-accrual loans and leases within the previous tables. Accruing TDR loans have been disclosed by delinquency
status  within  the  previous  tables  of  accruing  and  non-accrual  loans  and  leases.  In  the  following  tables,  the  loan  balance  of
impaired loans represents the amount recorded within loans and leases on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition,
whereas the unpaid contractual balance represents the balances legally owed by the borrowers.

At December 31, 2013, TCF Bank had pledged loans secured by residential real estate and commercial real estate loans with an
aggregate carrying value of $5 billion as collateral for FHLB advances. At December 31, 2013, $350 million of FHLB advances
outstanding were prepayable monthly at TCF’s option.

On August 5, 2013, TCF Bank terminated $50 million long-term variable rate FHLB advances scheduled to mature on January 3,
2014, resulting in a loss on termination of $55 thousand.

On June 17, 2013, TCF Bank redeemed at par $71 million aggregate outstanding balance of its subordinated notes due 2014.
There  were  no  remaining  discounts  or  deferred  fees  associated  with  the  notes  and,  as  a  result,  there  was  no  gain  or  loss
associated with the redemption. Effective June 15, 2013, the subordinated notes due 2014 no longer qualified for treatment as
Tier 2 or supplementary capital.

The  $50  million  of  subordinated  notes  due  2015  re-price  quarterly  at  the  three-month  LIBOR  rate  plus  1.56%.  These
subordinated notes may be redeemed by TCF Bank at par once per quarter at TCF Bank’s discretion. In January 2014, TCF gave
notice of its intention to redeem the aggregate principal amount of these subordinated notes on March 17, 2014, at which time
the subordinated notes due 2015 will no longer qualify for treatment as Tier 2 or supplementary capital.

The $74.9 million of subordinated notes due 2016 have a fixed-rate coupon of 5.5% per annum until maturity. The $109.1 million
of subordinated notes due 2022 have a fixed-rate coupon of 6.25% per annum until maturity. At December 31, 2013, all of the
subordinated notes qualify as Tier 2 or supplementary capital for regulatory purposes, subject to certain regulatory limitations.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2013, TCF considered its undistributed foreign earnings to be reinvested indefinitely. As a
result, TCF recorded a $1.2 million benefit in 2013 to eliminate U.S. deferred taxes on its undistributed foreign earnings. This
assertion is based on management’s determination that cash held in TCF’s foreign jurisdictions is not needed to fund its U.S.
operations and that it either has reinvested or has intentions to reinvest these earnings. While management currently intends to
indefinitely reinvest all of TCF’s foreign earnings, should circumstances or tax laws change, TCF may need to record additional
income tax expense in the period in which such determination or tax law change occurs. As of December 31, 2013, TCF has not
provided  U.S.  deferred  taxes  on  $33.5  million  of  its  undistributed  foreign  earnings.  If  these  undistributed  earnings  were
repatriated to the U.S. or otherwise became subject to U.S. taxation, the potential deferred tax liability would be approximately
$2.7 million, assuming full utilization of related foreign tax credits.

The  total  amount  of  unrecognized  tax  benefits  that,  if  recognized,  would  affect  the  effective  tax  rate  was  $1.2  million  and
$1.1 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. TCF recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax
benefits,  where  applicable,  in  income  tax  expense.  TCF  recognized  approximately  $110  thousand,  $77  thousand  and
$22  thousand  in  interest  and  penalties  during  2013,  2012  and  2011,  respectively.  Interest  and  penalties  of  approximately
$427 thousand and $317 thousand were accrued at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

TCF’s federal income tax returns are open and subject to examination for 2012 and later tax return years. TCF’s various state
income tax returns are generally open for the 2009 and later tax return years based on individual state statutes of limitation.
Changes  in  the  amount  of  unrecognized  tax  benefits  within  the  next  twelve  months  from  normal  expirations  of  statutes  of
limitation are not expected to be material.

The significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities were as follows.

$519 thousand and federal credit carryforwards of $28.7 million that expire in years 2029 through 2033 and state net operating
losses of $10.8 million that expire in years 2014 through 2033.

Note 13. Equity
Restricted Retained Earnings Retained earnings at TCF Bank, at December 31, 2013, included approximately $134.4 million
for which no provision for federal income taxes has been made. This amount represents earnings legally appropriated to thrift
bad debt reserves and deducted for federal income tax purposes in prior years and is generally not available for payment of cash
dividends or other distributions to stockholders. Future payments or distributions of these appropriated earnings could invoke a
tax liability for TCF based on the amount of the distributions and the tax rates in effect at that time.

Reserve is required by regulation before TCF could repurchase any shares of its common stock.

Depositary  Shares  Representing  7.50%  Series  A  Non-Cumulative  Perpetual  Preferred  Stock On  June  25,  2012,  TCF
completed the public offering of depositary shares, each representing a 1/1,000th interest in a share of Series A Non-Cumulative
Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the ‘‘Series A Preferred Stock’’). In connection with the offering, TCF issued
6,900,000  depositary  shares  at  a  public  offering  price  of  $25  per  depositary  share.  Dividends  are  payable  on  the  Series  A
Preferred  Stock  if,  as  and  when  declared  by  TCF’s  Board  of  Directors  on  a  non-cumulative  basis  on  March  1,  June  1,
September 1, and December 1 of each year at a per annum rate of 7.5%. Net proceeds of the offering to TCF, after deducting
underwriting  discounts  and  commissions  and  estimated  offering  expenses  of  $5.8  million,  were  $166.7  million.  TCF  paid
$12.9 million and $5.6 million in cash dividends to holders of Series A Preferred Stock during 2013 and 2012, respectively.

6.45% Series B Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock On December 19, 2012, TCF completed the public offering of
4,000,000 shares of 6.45% Series B Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock par value $.01 per share (the ‘‘Series B Preferred
Stock’’). Net proceeds of the offering to TCF, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering costs
of $3.5 million, were $96.5 million. Dividends are payable on the Series B Preferred Stock if, as and when declared by TCF’s
Board of Directors on a non-cumulative basis on March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1 of each year, commencing on
March 1, 2013, at a per annum rate of 6.45%. TCF paid $6.1 million in cash dividends to holders of Series B Preferred stock during
2013 and no cash dividends were paid to holders of Series B Preferred Stock in 2012.

Shares Held in Trust for Deferred Compensation Plans

Executive,  Senior  Officer,  Winthrop  and  Directors  Deferred  Compensation  Plans TCF  has  maintained  the  deferred
compensation  plans  listed  above,  which  previously  allowed  eligible  executives,  senior  officers,  directors  and  certain  other
employees, and non-employee directors to defer a portion of certain payments, and, in some cases, grants of restricted stock. In
October  2008,  TCF  terminated  the  employee  plans  for  those  participants  who  elected  to  do  so,  and  only  the  Director  plan
remains active, which allows non-employee directors to defer up to 100% of their director fees and restricted stock awards. The
amounts deferred under these plans were invested in TCF common stock, other publicly traded stocks, bonds or mutual funds.
At December 31, 2013, the fair value of the assets in these plans totaled $15.1 million and included $9.4 million invested in TCF
common stock, compared with $12.1 million and $7.4 million, at December 31, 2012.

TCF  Employees  Deferred  Stock  Compensation  Plan In  2011,  TCF  implemented  the  TCF  Employees  Deferred  Stock
Compensation Plan. This plan is comprised of restricted stock awards issued to certain executives. The assets of this plan are
solely held in TCF common stock with a fair value totaling $30.2 million and $22.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2013
and 2012, respectively.

TCF  Employees  Stock  Purchase  Plan  –  Supplemental  Plan TCF  also  maintains  the  TCF  Employees  Stock  Purchase  Plan  –
Supplemental Plan, a non-qualified plan, to which certain employees can contribute up to 50% of their salary and bonus. TCF
matching contributions to this plan totaled $829 thousand and $556 thousand in 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company
made no other contributions to this plan, other than payment of administrative expenses. The amounts deferred under the above
plan were invested in TCF common stock or mutual funds. At December 31, 2013, the fair value of the assets in the plan totaled
$27.8 million and included $16.4 million invested in TCF common stock, compared with a total fair value of $19 million, including
$11.5 million invested in TCF common stock at December 31, 2012.

The cost of TCF common stock held by TCF’s deferred compensation plans is reported separately in a manner similar to treasury
stock  (that  is,  changes  in  fair  value  are  not  recognized)  with  a  corresponding  deferred  compensation  obligation  reflected  in
additional paid-in capital.

Warrants At December 31, 2013, TCF had 3,199,988 warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $16.93 per share, which
expire on November 14, 2018. Upon the completion of the U.S. Treasury’s secondary public offering of the warrants issued under
the Capital Purchase Program (‘‘CPP’’) in December 2009, the warrants became publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange
under the symbol ‘‘TCBWS’’. As a result, TCF has no further obligations to the Federal Government in connection with the CPP.

Joint Venture TCF has a joint venture with The Toro Company (‘‘Toro’’) called Red Iron Acceptance, LLC (‘‘Red Iron’’). Red Iron
provides U.S. distributors and dealers and select Canadian distributors of the Toro(cid:4) and Exmark(cid:4) branded products with sources
of financing. TCF and Toro maintain a 55% and 45% ownership interest, respectively, in Red Iron. As TCF has a controlling
financial interest in Red Iron, its financial results are consolidated in TCF’s financial statements. Toro’s interest is reported as a
non-controlling interest within equity and qualifies as Tier 1 regulatory capital.

Note 14. Regulatory  Capital  Requirements
TCF and TCF Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to
meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possible additional discretionary, actions by the federal
banking agencies that could have a material adverse effect on TCF. In general, TCF Bank may not declare or pay a dividend to TCF
Financial in excess of 100% of its net retained profits for the current year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding
two calendar years, which was $21.2 million at December 31, 2013, without prior approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (‘‘OCC’’). TCF Bank’s ability to make capital distributions in the future may require regulatory approval and may be
restricted by its regulatory authorities. TCF Bank’s ability to make any such distributions will also depend on its earnings and
ability to meet minimum regulatory capital requirements in effect during future periods. These capital adequacy standards may
be higher in the future than existing minimum regulatory capital requirements.

Note 15. Stock Compensation
The TCF Financial Incentive Stock Program (the ‘‘Program’’) was adopted to enable TCF to attract and retain key personnel. At
December 31, 2013, there were 3,813,276 shares reserved for issuance under the Program.

At December 31, 2013, there were 1,130,916 shares of performance-based restricted stock outstanding that will vest only if
certain return on asset goals, loan volumes and credit quality metrics, and service conditions are achieved. Failure to achieve the
performance and service conditions will result in all or a portion of the shares being forfeited. Awards of service-based restricted
stock vest over periods from one year to five years.

Note 16. Employee Benefit  Plans
Employees Stock Purchase Plan The TCF Employees Stock Purchase Plan (the ‘‘ESPP’’), a qualified 401(k) and employee
stock ownership plan, generally allows participants to make contributions of up to 50% of their covered compensation on a
tax-deferred basis, subject to the annual covered compensation limitation imposed by the Internal Revenue Service (‘‘IRS’’). TCF
matches the contributions of all participants with TCF common stock at the rate of 50 cents per dollar for employees with one
through four years of service up to a maximum company contribution of 3% of the employee’s covered compensation, 75 cents
per  dollar  for  employees  with  five  through  nine  years  of  service  up  to  a  maximum  company  contribution  of  4.5%  of  the
employee’s covered compensation, and $1 per dollar for employees with 10 or more years of service up to a maximum company
contribution of 6% of the employee’s covered compensation, subject to the annual covered compensation limitation imposed by
the  IRS.  Employee  contributions  vest  immediately  while  the  Company’s  matching  contributions  are  subject  to  a  graduated
vesting schedule based on an employee’s years of service with full vesting after five years. Employees have the opportunity to

84

diversify and invest their account balance, including matching contributions, in various mutual funds or TCF common stock. At
December 31, 2013, the fair value of the assets in the ESPP totaled $233.5 million and included $142.9 million invested in TCF
common stock. Dividends on TCF common shares held in the ESPP reduce retained earnings and the shares are considered
outstanding  for  computing  earnings  per  share.  The  Company’s  matching  contributions  are  expensed  when  made.  TCF’s
contributions to the ESPP were $8.9 million in 2013, $8.0 million in 2012 and $7.6 million in 2011.

Pension Plan The TCF Cash Balance Pension Plan (the ‘‘Pension Plan’’) is a qualified defined benefit plan covering eligible
employees who are at least 21 years old and have completed a year of eligibility service with TCF. Employees hired after June 30,
2004 are not eligible to participate in the Pension Plan. Effective March 31, 2006, TCF amended the Pension Plan to discontinue
compensation credits for all participants. Interest credits will continue to be paid until participants’ accounts are distributed from
the Pension Plan. Each month TCF credits participants’ accounts with interest on the account balance based on the five-year
Treasury rate plus 25 basis points determined at the beginning of each year. All participant accounts are vested.

The  measurement  of  the  projected  benefit  obligation,  prepaid  pension  asset,  pension  liability  and  annual  pension  expense
involves complex actuarial valuation methods and the use of actuarial and economic assumptions. Due to the long-term nature of
the  Pension  Plan  obligation,  actual  results  may  differ  significantly  from  the  actuarial-based  estimates.  Differences  between
estimates and actual experience are recorded in the year they arise. TCF closely monitors all assumptions and updates them
annually. The Company does not consolidate the assets and liabilities associated with the Pension Plan.

Postretirement Plan TCF provides health care benefits for eligible retired employees (the ‘‘Postretirement Plan’’). Effective
January 1, 2000, TCF modified the Postretirement Plan for employees not yet eligible for benefits under the Postretirement Plan
by eliminating the Company subsidy. The Postretirement Plan provisions for full-time and retired employees then eligible for
these  benefits  were  not  changed.  Employees  retiring  after  December  31,  2009  are  no  longer  eligible  to  participate  in  the
Postretirement Plan. The Postretirement Plan is not funded.

The  information  set  forth  in  the  following  tables  is  based  on  current  actuarial  reports  using  the  measurement  date  of
December 31 for TCF’s Pension Plan and Postretirement Plan.

The following table sets forth the status of the Pension Plan and the Postretirement Plan at the dates indicated.

TCF’s Pension Plan investment policy states that assets may be invested in direct obligations of the U.S. government, U.S.
treasury bills, notes or bonds, with maturity dates not exceeding ten years or money market mutual funds. At December 31,
2013, assets held in trust for the Pension Plan included $48 million of U.S. treasury bills and $3 million of money market mutual
funds compared with $53.5 million of U.S. treasury notes and $106 thousand of money market mutual funds as December 31,
2012. The fair value of these assets is based upon quotes from independent asset pricing services for identical assets based on
active  markets,  which  are  considered  Level  1  under  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (‘‘FASB’’)  Accounting  Standards
Codification (‘‘ASC’’) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and are measured on a recurring basis.

The measurement dates used for determining the Pension Plan and the Postretirement Plan projected and accumulated benefit
obligations and the dates used to value plan assets were December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The discount rate used to
measure the benefit obligation of the Pension Plan was 4% for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 3% for the year ended
December 31, 2012. The discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation of the Postretirement Plan was 4% for the year
ended December 31, 2013 and 2.75% for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Pension Plan actual return on plan assets, net of administrative expenses was a loss of .6% for the year ended December 31,
2013 and a loss of .5% for the year ended December 31, 2012. The expected actuarial return on plan assets was a gain of
$775 thousand and the actual loss on plan assets was $336 thousand and increased net periodic benefits cost for the year ended
December 31, 2013. The expected actuarial return on plan assets was a gain of $825 thousand and the actual loss on plan assets
was $277 thousand and increased net periodic benefit costs for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Prior service credits of TCF’s Postretirement Plan totaling $46 thousand are included within accumulated other comprehensive
income at December 31, 2013 and are expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost during 2014.

The actuarial assumptions used in the Pension Plan valuation are reviewed annually. The expected long-term rate of return on
plan assets is determined by reference to historical market returns and future expectations. The 10-year average return of the
index  consistent  with  the  Pension  Plan’s  current  investment  strategy  was  2.8%,  net  of  administrative  expenses.  A  1%
difference in the expected return on plan assets would result in a $488 thousand change in net periodic pension expense.

The  discount  rate  used  to  determine  TCF’s  pension  and  postretirement  benefit  obligations  as  of  December  31,  2013  and
December 31, 2012 was determined by matching estimated benefit cash flows to a yield curve derived from corporate bonds
rated  AA  by  either  Moody’s  or  Standard  and  Poor’s.  Bonds  containing  call  or  put  provisions  were  excluded.  The  average
estimated duration of TCF’s Pension Plan and Postretirement Plan varied between seven and eight years.

Included within the net periodic benefit cost for the Pension Plan are recognized actuarial gains and losses. The increase in the
discount rate from 3% at December 31, 2012 to 4% at December 31, 2013 decreased net periodic benefit cost by $2.7 million
during  2013.  Changes  to  the  interest  crediting  rate  assumption  start  at  1.5%  in  2014  and  phase  to  3.5%  starting  in  2017
increased net period cost by $220 thousand. Updated mortality tables at December 31, 2013 and various plan participant census
changes increased the 2013 net periodic benefit cost by $249 thousand.

Included  in  the  net  periodic  benefit  cost  for  the  Postretirement  Plan  are  recognized  actuarial  gains  and  losses.  The
Postretirement Plan change in actuarially estimated cost per participant as of December 31, 2013 reduced net periodic benefit
cost by $789 thousand. The increase in the discount rate from 2.75% at December 31, 2012 to 4% at December 31, 2013
decreased the net periodic benefit cost by $502 thousand. Updated mortality tables at December 31, 2013 and various plan
demographic changes increased the net periodic benefit obligation by $339 thousand.

For 2013, TCF was eligible to contribute up to $8.3 million to the Pension Plan until the 2013 federal income tax return extension
due date under various IRS funding methods. During 2013, TCF made no cash contributions to the Pension Plan. TCF does not
expect to be required to contribute to the Pension Plan in 2014. TCF expects to contribute $560 thousand to the Postretirement
Plan in 2014. TCF contributed $391 thousand to the Postretirement Plan for the year ended December 31, 2013. TCF currently
has no plans to pre-fund the Postretirement Plan in 2014.

Note 17. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet  Risk
TCF is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, primarily to meet the financing needs of its customers. These
financial instruments, which are issued or held for purposes other than trading, involve elements of credit and interest-rate risk in
excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

TCF’s exposure to credit loss, in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to the financial instrument, for commitments
to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of the commitments. TCF uses the same
credit policies in making these commitments as it does for making direct loans. TCF evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness
on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained is based on a credit evaluation of the customer.

Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk are summarized as follows.

Commitments to Extend Credit Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend provided there is no violation of any
condition in the contract. These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require
payment of a fee. Since certain of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment
amounts  do  not  necessarily  represent  future  cash  requirements.  Collateral  to  secure  any  funding  of  these  commitments
predominantly consists of residential and commercial real estate.

Standby  Letters  of  Credit  and  Guarantees  on  Industrial  Revenue  Bonds Standby  letters  of  credit  and  guarantees  on
industrial revenue bonds are conditional commitments issued by TCF guaranteeing the performance of a customer to a third
party. These conditional commitments expire in various years through 2017. Collateral held consists primarily of commercial real
estate mortgages. Since the conditions under which TCF is required to fund these commitments may not materialize, the cash
requirements are expected to be less than the total outstanding commitments.

Note 18. Derivative Instruments
All derivative instruments are recognized within other assets or other liabilities at fair value within the Consolidated Statements
of Financial Condition. These contracts typically settle within 30 days, with the exception of swap agreements.

The value of derivative instruments will vary over their contractual terms as the related underlying rates fluctuate. The accounting
for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether or not the contract has been designated and qualifies
as a hedge. To qualify as a hedge, a contract must be highly effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being
hedged.  In  addition,  for  a  contract  to  be  designated  as  a  hedge,  the  risk  management  objective  and  strategy  must  be
documented at inception. Hedge documentation must also identify the hedging instrument, the asset or liability and type of risk
to be hedged and how the effectiveness of the contract is assessed prospectively and retrospectively. To assess effectiveness,
TCF uses statistical methods such as regression analysis. A contract that has been, and is expected to continue to be, effective at
offsetting changes in cash flows or the net investment must be assessed and documented at least quarterly. If it is determined
that a contract is not highly effective at hedging the designated exposure, hedge accounting is discontinued.

88

Upon  origination  of  a  derivative  instrument,  the  contract  is  designated  either  as  a  hedge  of  a  forecasted  transaction  or  the
variability of cash flows to be paid related to a recognized asset or liability (‘‘cash flow hedge’’), a hedge of the volatility of an
investment  in  foreign  operations  driven  by  changes  in  foreign  currency  exchange  rates  (‘‘net  investment  hedge’’),  or  is  not
designated as a hedge. To the extent that an instrument is designated as an effective hedge, changes in fair value are recorded
within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), with any ineffectiveness recorded in non-interest expense. Amounts
recorded within other comprehensive income (loss) are subsequently reclassified to non-interest expense upon completion of
the related transaction. Changes in net investment hedges recorded within other comprehensive income (loss) are subsequently
reclassified to non-interest expense during the period in which the foreign investment is substantially liquidated or when other
elements  of  the  currency  translation  adjustment  are  reclassified  to  income.  If  a  hedged  forecasted  transaction  is  no  longer
probable, hedge accounting is ceased and any gain or loss included in other comprehensive income (loss) is reported in earnings
immediately.

Cash Flow Hedges TCF uses forward foreign exchange contracts to manage the foreign exchange risk associated with certain
assets, liabilities and forecasted transactions. Forward foreign exchange contracts represent agreements to exchange a foreign
currency for U.S. dollars at an agreed-upon price and settlement date.

Net  Investment  Hedges Foreign  exchange  contracts,  which  include  forward  contracts,  are  used  to  manage  the  foreign
exchange risk associated with the Company’s net investment in TCF Commercial Finance Canada, Inc., a wholly-owned indirect
Canadian subsidiary of TCF Bank, along with certain assets, liabilities and forecasted transactions of that subsidiary.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service
TCF provides to certain customers. TCF executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their
respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps
that TCF executes with a third party, such that TCF minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the
interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, change in the fair value
of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are reflected in non-interest income. These contracts have fixed maturity
dates ranging from five to seven years.

During the second quarter of 2012, TCF sold its Visa(cid:4) Class B stock. In conjunction with the sale, TCF and the purchaser entered
into a derivative transaction whereby TCF may receive or be required to make cash payments whenever the conversion ratio of
the Visa Class B stock into Visa Class A stock is adjusted. The fair value of this derivative has been determined using estimated
future cash flows using probability weighted scenarios for multiple estimates of Visa’s aggregate exposure to covered litigation
matters,  which  include  consideration  of  amounts  funded  by  Visa  into  its  escrow  account  for  the  covered  litigation  matters.
Changes in the valuation of this swap agreement, which has no determinable maturity date, are reflected in non-interest income.
Additionally, certain forward foreign exchange contracts used to manage foreign exchange risk are not designated as hedges.
Changes in the fair value of these foreign exchange contracts are reflected in non-interest expense.

The following tables summarize TCF’s outstanding derivative instruments as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. See Note 19, Fair
Value Measurement for additional information.

TCF executes all of its foreign exchange contracts in the over-the-counter market with large, international financial institutions
pursuant to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements. These agreements include credit risk-
related features that enhance the creditworthiness of these instruments as compared with other obligations of the respective
counterparty with whom TCF has transacted by requiring that additional collateral be posted under certain circumstances. The
amount of collateral required depends on the contract and is determined daily based on market and currency exchange rate
conditions.

At December 31, 2013, credit risk-related contingent features existed on forward foreign exchange contracts with a notional
value of $127.1 million. In the event TCF is rated less than BB(cid:5) by Standard and Poor’s, the contracts could be terminated or TCF
may be required to provide approximately $2.5 million in additional collateral. There were $548 thousand of forward foreign
exchange contracts containing credit risk related features in a net liability position at December 31, 2013.

At  December  31,  2013,  TCF  posted  $2.1  million  of  cash  collateral  related  to  its  swap  agreements  and  had  posted  no  cash
collateral related to its forward foreign exchange contracts.

Note 19. Fair Value Measurement
TCF uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities, and to determine fair value
disclosures. The Company’s fair values are based on the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer
a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Securities available for sale, derivatives
(forward  foreign  exchange  contracts  and  swap  agreements),  and  assets  held  in  trust  for  deferred  compensation  plans  are
recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Certain investments, commercial loans, real estate owned, repossessed and returned
assets and certain interest-only strips are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

TCF groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities
are traded, and the degree and reliability of estimates and assumptions used to determine fair value as follows: Level 1, which

90

includes valuations that are based on prices obtained from independent pricing sources for the same instruments traded in active
markets; Level 2, which includes valuations that are based on prices obtained from independent pricing sources that are based
on observable transactions of similar instruments, but not quoted markets; and Level 3, for which valuations are generated from
Company  model-based  techniques  that  use  significant  unobservable  inputs.  Such  unobservable  inputs  reflect  estimates  of
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following tables present the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis.

Management assesses the appropriate classification of financial assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy by monitoring
the level of availability of observable market information. Changes in markets and/or economic conditions, as well as to Company
valuation models may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. Such transfers, if any,
represent the fair values as of the beginning of the quarter in which the transfer occurred. TCF transferred $1.1 million and
$264 thousand of securities from Level 3 to Level 1 in the years ending December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

Securities  Available  for  Sale Securities  available  for  sale  consist  primarily  of  U.S.  Government-sponsored  enterprise  and
federal agency securities. The fair value of U.S. Government-sponsored enterprise securities is recorded using prices obtained
from independent asset pricing services that are based on observable transactions, but not quoted markets, and are categorized
as Level 2 assets. Management reviews the prices obtained from independent asset pricing services for unusual fluctuations
and comparisons to current market trading activity. Other mortgage-backed securities, for which there is little or no market
activity, are categorized as Level 3 assets and the fair value of these assets is determined by using internal pricing methods.
Other securities are categorized as Level 1 assets and the fair value is determined using quoted prices from the New York Stock
Exchange.

Forward  Foreign  Exchange  Contracts TCF’s  forward  foreign  exchange  contracts  are  currency  contracts  executed  in
over-the-counter markets and are valued using a cash flow model that includes key inputs such as foreign exchange rates and, in
accordance with GAAP, an assessment of the risk of counterparty non-performance. The risk of counterparty non-performance is
based on external assessments of credit risk. The majority of these contracts are based on observable transactions, but not
quoted markets, and are categorized as Level 2 assets and liabilities. As permitted under GAAP, TCF has elected to net derivative
receivables and derivative payables and the related cash collateral received and paid, when a legally enforceable master netting
agreement exists. For purposes of the previous tables, the derivative receivable and payable balances are presented gross of this
netting adjustment.

Swap Agreements TCF executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate the company’s risk
management strategy. These interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps TCF executes
with a third party, such that the company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. These transactions are
considered Level 2 investments, and the fair value is determined using a cash flow model which considers the forward curve, the
discount curve and credit valuation adjustments related to counterparty and borrower non-performance risk. TCF also holds a
swap agreement related to the sale of TCF’s Visa Class B stock, categorized as a Level 3 liability. The value of the Visa swap
agreement is based upon TCF’s estimated exposure related to the Visa covered litigation through a probability analysis of the
funding  and  estimated  settlement  amounts.  As  permitted  under  GAAP,  TCF  has  elected  to  net  derivative  receivables  and
derivative  payables  and  the  related  cash  collateral  received  and  paid,  when  a  legally  enforceable  master  netting  agreement
exists. For purposes of the previous tables, the derivative receivable and payable balances are presented gross of this netting
adjustment.

Assets Held in Trust for Deferred Compensation Assets held in trust for deferred compensation plans include investments
in publicly traded stocks, excluding TCF common stock reported in treasury and other equity, and U.S. Treasury notes. The fair
value of these assets is based upon prices obtained from independent asset pricing services based on active markets.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured on a non-recurring basis.

Loans
Impaired loans for which repayment of the loan is expected to be provided solely by the value of the underlying collateral
are considered collateral dependent and are valued based on the fair value of collateral, less estimated selling costs; however, if
payment or satisfaction of the loan is dependent on the operation, rather than the sale, of the collateral, the impairment does not
include selling costs.

Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed and Returned Assets The fair value of other real estate owned is based on
independent full appraisals, real estate broker’s price opinions, or automated valuation methods, less estimated selling costs.
Certain properties require assumptions that are not observable in an active market in the determination of fair value. The fair
value of repossessed and returned assets is based on available pricing guides, auction results or price opinions, less estimated
selling costs. Assets acquired through foreclosure, repossession or returned to TCF are initially recorded at the lower of the loan
or  lease  carrying  amount  or  fair  value  less  estimated  selling  costs  at  the  time  of  transfer  to  other  real  estate  owned  or
repossessed  and  returned  assets.  Other  real  estate  owned  and  repossessed  and  returned  assets  were  written  down
$15.6 million and $25.2 million, which was included in foreclosed real estate and repossessed assets, net expense for the years
ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Interest-Only Strips The fair value of interest-only strips represents the present value of future cash flows retained by TCF on
certain assets. TCF uses available market data, along with its own empirical data and discounted cash flow models, to arrive at
the estimated fair value of its interest-only strips. The present value of the estimated expected future cash flows to be received is
determined  by  using  discount,  loss  and  prepayment  rates  that  the  Company  believes  are  commensurate  with  the  risks
associated with the cash flows and what a market participant would use. These assumptions are inherently subject to volatility
and uncertainty and, as a result, the estimated fair value of the interest-only strip may fluctuate significantly from period to period.

Investments The  fair  value  of  investments  is  estimated  based  on  discounted  cash  flows  using  current  market  rates  and
consideration of credit exposure. There is not an observable secondary market for these securities.

93

Note 20. Fair Value of Financial  Instruments
Management discloses the estimated fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities on and off the balance sheet,
for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. These fair value estimates were made at December 31, 2013 and 2012, based on
relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. Fair value estimates are intended to represent the
price at which an asset could be sold or a liability could be settled. However, given there is no active market or observable market
transactions  for  many  of  the  Company’s  financial  instruments,  the  estimates  of  fair  values  are  subjective  in  nature,  involve
uncertainties  and  include  matters  of  significant  judgment.  Changes  in  assumptions  could  significantly  affect  the  estimated
values.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are set forth in the following table. This
information  represents  only  a  portion  of  TCF’s  balance  sheet,  and  not  the  estimated  value  of  the  Company  as  a  whole.
Non-financial  instruments  such  as  the  intangible  value  of  TCF’s  branches  and  core  deposits,  leasing  operations,  goodwill,
premises and equipment and the future revenues from TCF’s customers are not reflected in this disclosure. Therefore, this
information is of limited use in assessing the value of TCF.

N.A. Not Applicable.
(1) Contracts are carried at fair value, net of the related cash collateral received and paid when a legally enforceable master netting agreement

exists.

(2) Carrying amounts are included in other assets.
(3) Expected credit losses are included in the estimated fair values.
(4) Positive amounts represent assets, negative amounts represent liabilities.
(5) Carrying amounts are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities.

94

The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks and accrued interest payable and receivable approximate their fair values due
to the short period of time until their expected realization. Securities available for sale, forward foreign exchange contracts and
assets held in trust for deferred compensation plans are carried at fair value (see Note 19, Fair Value Measurement). Certain
financial  instruments,  including  lease  financings  and  all  non-financial  instruments  are  excluded  from  fair  value  of  financial
instrument disclosure requirements. The following methods and assumptions are used by TCF in estimating fair value for its
remaining financial instruments, all of which are issued or held for purposes other than trading.

Investments The carrying value of investments in FHLB stock and Federal Reserve stock approximates fair value. The fair
value of other investments is estimated based on discounted cash flows using current market rates and consideration of credit
exposure.

Loans and Leases Held for Sale Loans and leases held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The cost of loans
held for sale includes the unpaid principal balance, net of deferred loans fees and costs. Estimated fair values are based upon
recent loan sale transactions and any available price quotes on loans with similar coupons, maturities and credit quality.

Interest-Only Strips The fair value of interest-only strips represents the present value of future cash flows retained by TCF on
certain assets. TCF uses available market data, along with its own empirical data and discounted cash flow models, to arrive at
the estimated fair value of its interest-only strips. The present value of the estimated expected future cash flows to be received is
determined  by  using  discount,  loss  and  prepayment  rates  that  the  Company  believes  are  commensurate  with  the  risks
associated with the cash flows and what a market participant would use. These assumptions are inherently subject to volatility
and uncertainty and, as a result, the estimated fair value of the interest-only strip may fluctuate significantly from period to period.

Loans The fair value of loans is estimated based on discounted expected cash flows and recent sales of similar loans. The
discounted  cash  flows  include  assumptions  for  prepayment  estimates  over  each  loan’s  remaining  life,  consideration  of  the
current interest rate environment compared with the weighted average rate of each portfolio, a credit risk component based on
the historical and expected performance of each portfolio and a liquidity adjustment related to the current market environment.
TCF also uses pricing data from recent sales of loans with similar risk characteristics as data points to validate the assumptions
used in estimating the fair value of certain loans.

Deposits The fair value of checking, savings and money market deposits is deemed equal to the amount payable on demand.
The fair value of certificates of deposit is estimated based on discounted cash flows using currently offered market rates. The
intangible value of long-term relationships with depositors is not taken into account in the fair values disclosed.

Borrowings The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings approximate their fair values. The fair values of TCF’s long-term
borrowings are estimated based on observable market prices and discounted cash flows using interest rates for borrowings of
similar remaining maturities and characteristics.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk The fair values of TCF’s commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit are estimated using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, as commitments and standby letters
of credit similar to TCF’s are not actively traded. Substantially all commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit have
floating interest rates and do not expose TCF to interest rate risk; therefore fair value is approximately equal to carrying value.

95

Note 21. Earnings Per Common Share
TCF’s  restricted  stock  awards  that  pay  non-forfeitable  common  stock  dividends  meet  the  criteria  of  a  participating  security.
Accordingly, earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method, under which earnings are allocated to both common
shares and participating securities.

All shares of restricted stock are deducted from weighted-average shares outstanding for the computation of basic earnings per
common share. Shares of performance-based restricted stock are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common
share, using the treasury stock method, at the beginning of the quarter in which the performance goals have been achieved. All
other  shares  of  restricted  stock,  which  vest  over  specified  time  periods,  stock  options,  and  warrants,  are  included  in  the
calculation of diluted earnings per common share, using the treasury stock method.

For  the  years  ended  December  31,  2013,  2012  and  2011,  there  were  3.8  million,  5.1  million  and  5  million,  respectively,  of
outstanding  shares  related  to  non-participating  restricted  stock,  stock  options,  and  warrants  that  were  not  included  in  the
computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.

Note 23. Business Segments
Lending,  Funding  and  Support  Services  have  been  identified  as  reportable  segments.  Lending  includes  retail  lending,
commercial  real  estate  and  business  lending,  leasing  and  equipment  finance,  inventory  finance  and  auto  finance.  Funding
includes branch banking and treasury services. Support Services includes holding company and corporate functions that provide
data processing, bank operations and other professional services to the operating segments.

TCF evaluates performance and allocates resources based on each segment’s net income or loss. The business segments follow
GAAP as described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior
financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. TCF generally accounts for inter-segment sales and transfers
at cost.

The  following  table  sets  forth  certain  information  for  each  of  TCF’s  reportable  segments,  including  a  reconciliation  of  TCF’s
consolidated totals.

TCF Financial’s (parent company only) operations are conducted through its banking subsidiary, TCF Bank. As a result, TCF’s cash
flow and ability to make dividend payments to its common stockholders depend on the earnings of TCF Bank. The ability of TCF
Bank to pay dividends or make other payments to TCF Financial is limited by its obligation to maintain sufficient capital and by
other regulatory restrictions on dividends. At December 31, 2013, TCF Bank could pay a total of approximately $21.2 million in
dividends to TCF without prior regulatory approval.

Note 25. Litigation  Contingencies
From  time  to  time,  TCF  is  a  party  to  legal  proceedings  arising  out  of  its  lending,  leasing  and  deposit  operations,  including
foreclosure proceedings and other collection actions as part of its lending and leasing collections activities. TCF may also be
subject to enforcement actions brought by federal regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’), the
Federal Reserve, the OCC and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. From time to time, borrowers and other customers,
and employees and former employees, have also brought actions against TCF, in some cases claiming substantial damages. TCF
and other financial services companies are subject to the risk of class action litigation. Litigation is often unpredictable and the
actual results of litigation cannot be determined, and therefore the ultimate resolution of a matter and the possible range of loss
associated with certain potential outcomes cannot be established. Based on our current understanding of these pending legal
proceedings, management does not believe that judgments or settlements arising from pending or threatened legal matters,
individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, operating results or
cash flows of TCF. TCF is also subject to regulatory examinations, and TCF’s regulatory authorities may impose sanctions on TCF
for failures related to regulatory compliance. In December 2013, the OCC terminated the regulatory order related to previously
disclosed deficiencies in its Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 (the ‘‘BSA’’ or ‘‘Bank Secrecy Act’’) compliance program. TCF Bank has
made comprehensive changes to its BSA compliance program and has satisfied the legal and regulatory requirements of the
order.

Item  9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants  on  Accounting
and Financial Disclosure
None.

Item  9A. Controls  and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation
of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer), Chief Financial
Officer (Principal Financial Officer) and Chief Accounting Officer (Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design
and  operation  of  the  Company’s  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  pursuant  to  Rules  13a-15  and  15d-15  of  the  Securities
Exchange  Act  of  1934,  as  amended  (the  ‘‘Exchange  Act’’).  Based  upon  that  evaluation,  management  concluded  that  the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2013.

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by TCF in reports filed or
submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated
and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer), Chief
Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer) and Chief Accounting Officer (Principal Accounting Officer), as appropriate, to allow
for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. TCF’s disclosure controls also include internal controls that are designed to
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are properly authorized, assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper
use and that transactions are properly recorded and reported.

Changes  in  Internal  Control  Over  Financial  Reporting There  were  no  changes  to  TCF’s  internal  control  over  financial
reporting  (as  defined  in  Rule  13a-15(f)  of  the  Exchange  Act)  during  the  quarter  ended  December  31,  2013,  that  materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, TCF’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for TCF Financial
Corporation  (the  Company).  Internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  a  process  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that in
reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are only being made in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection  of  unauthorized  acquisition,  use,  or  disposition  of  the  Company’s  assets  that  could  have  a  material  effect  on  the
financial statements.

Management,  with  the  participation  of  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  (Principal  Executive  Officer)  and  Chief  Financial  Officer
(Principal Financial Officer), completed an assessment of TCF’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013.
This assessment was based on criteria for evaluating internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control –
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in September 1992.
Based  on  this  assessment,  management  concluded  that  TCF’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  was  effective  as  of
December 31, 2013.

KPMG LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements
included in this annual report, has issued an unqualified attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013.

Any control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the
objectives of the control system are met. The design of a control system inherently has limitations, and the benefits of controls
must be weighed against their costs. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by
collusion  of  two  or  more  people,  or  by  management  override  of  the  controls.  Therefore,  no  assessment  of  a  cost-effective
system of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be detected.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
TCF Financial Corporation:

We have audited TCF Financial Corporation’s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013,
based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal  Control  –  Integrated  Framework  (1992)  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). TCF Financial Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining
effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal
control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures
as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A  company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  a  process  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions
of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation
of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements.  Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, TCF Financial Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated statements of financial condition of TCF Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012,
and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 2013, and our report dated February 25, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements.

TCF’s Board of Directors is required to determine whether it has at least one Audit Committee Financial Expert and that the

connection  with  the  accounting  for  estimates,  accruals  and  reserves.  Additionally,  this  individual  should  have  experience
preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present the breadth and level of complexity of accounting
issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by
TCF’s financial statements, or experience actively supervising one or more persons engaged in such activities. The member
should also have an understanding of internal control over financial reporting as well as an understanding of audit committee
functions.

The Board has determined that Gerald A. Schwalbach, the Audit Committee Chairman, Raymond L. Barton, Thomas A. Cusick,
George G. Johnson, Vance K. Opperman and Richard A. Zona meet the requirements of audit committee financial experts. The
Board has also determined that Mr. Schwalbach, Mr. Barton, Mr. Cusick, Ms. Grandstrand, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Opperman and
Mr.  Zona  are  independent.  Additional  information  regarding  Mr.  Schwalbach,  Mr. Barton,  Mr.  Cusick,  Ms.  Grandstrand,

Investment Plan, a direct stock purchase and dividend 

reinvestment plan for TCF Financial Corporation common stock.

Note to Stockholders
It is important for registered stockholders to keep the transfer 

agent informed of their current address and to cash their 

dividend payments; otherwise, TCF may be required by state 

law to report and deliver (or “escheat”) these shares and any 

unclaimed dividends as unclaimed property, even if TCF does 

not have physical possession of the stock certificate. In other 

words, TCF is required to escheat shares and un-cashed 

dividends if there has been no stockholder-initiated activity or 

no stockholder contact with the transfer agent within the state’s 

dormancy period. Unclaimed property rules vary by state. 

Some states do not consider the act of reinvesting dividends  

in a dividend reinvestment plan as account activity that would 

signify a stockholder’s continued interest in the underlying 

shares of stock. Your failure to keep an active account can result 

in the escheatment of your shares and any un-cashed dividends 

to the state, in which case you will need to request a refund of 

the unclaimed property from the state. 

Stockholders holding shares in street name should contact their 

broker regarding questions about escheatment and unclaimed 

property laws.

TCF is not providing legal advice on unclaimed property laws.
